Researchers have found that even seemingly random events, like the roll of a die, are governed by fundamental laws of physics. Their work provides further evidence for a long-held belief that the universe is fundamentally deterministic, even if it appears chaotic.
In essence, the study reinforces that the Boltzmann distribution isn't just *a* way to model randomness, it's *the* way to model truly independent random systems.
In the coming weeks, Symmetry will explore the ways scientists are using artificial intelligence to advance particle physics and astrophysics. This series of articles will be written and illustrated entirely by humans.
