自从克劳修斯、麦克斯韦和玻尔兹曼创立气体动力学理论以来，其后继理论的范围和方向都发生了很大的变化。从目前的领域来看，“气体的”这一限定词已经用词不当。我们可以看到，气体动力学理论的衍生物的最终范围必须是物质整体性质的整个领域，这些性质是从物质的原子构成和原子的性质及其相互作用导出的。该理论目前的范围福尔斯还没有达到这种包容性，但还没有短到给未来留下任何疑问的程度。
SINCE the days when the kinetic theory of gases was founded by Clausius, Maxwell and Boltzmann, great changes have taken place in the scope and bearing of the descendent theory. Taking a wide view of its present field, the qualification “of gases” has become a misnomer. One can see that the ultimate scope of the descendent of the kinetic theory of gases must be the whole field of the properties of matter in bulk, derived from the atomic constitution of matter and from the properties of atoms and their interactions. The present scope of the theory falls short of such inclusiveness, but not so far short as to leave any doubts for the future.
