Statistical physics sets out to explain how the patterns and structures around us in the macroscopic world arise from the interactions between their component parts.

Statistical physics sets out to explain how the patterns and structures around us in the macroscopic world arise from the interactions between their component parts. A major challenge in the 21st century is to extend statistical physics to systems that are far from equilibrium. Overview Statistical physics considers how many microscopic entities (be they atoms, molecules, bacteria, vehicles .....) may produce macroscopic phenomena. The central challenge of statistical physics in the twenty-first century is to describe nonequilibrium systems where the traditional assumptions of thermal equilibr
