Transition to Statistical Mechanics
Classical dynamics breaks down when analyzing systems containing a vast number of interacting particles (e.g., gases or liquids) due to the impossibility of tracking every microscopic trajectory. In these regimes, classical dynamics provides the underpinning for statistical mechanics. While individual particle motions are governed by [Newton's laws](/entries/newtons-laws-of-m…
