Why Light Behaves Both Like a Wave and a Particle: From Newton to Schrödinger

From Newtonian mechanics describing billiard balls with position and momentum to quantum theory’s wave‑particle duality, this article traces the evolution of physical models—highlighting de Broglie’s hypothesis, the Schrödinger equation, and the uncertainty principle—to explain why particles can exhibit both wave‑like and particle‑like behavior.

What Is Temperature? A Statistical Mechanics Perspective

Temperature, a familiar sensation, is actually a statistical measure of the average kinetic energy of atoms and molecules, explained by statistical mechanics, which also links to pressure, Maxwell‑Boltzmann distribution, and finds applications ranging from gas behavior to social dynamics and machine‑learning models like Boltzmann machines.
