Abstract

 Why can’t we predict the behavior of a gas molecule the same way we track a planet? In this talk, we’ll explore why classical and quantum mechanics alone are not enough to explain the messy, complex world around us—and why we need statistical mechanics to bridge the gap between microscopic particles and macroscopic behavior. Along the way, we’ll look at stochastic processes as powerful tools for dealing with randomness and uncertainty in nature. We’ll also touch on big ideas like chaos, self-organization, networks, biological complexity, and even how diseases spread—all from a statistical perspective. This talk aims to give you a fresh way of looking at the world: not as a set of exact rules, but as a dynamic system full of patterns, surprises, and probabilities
