Entropy appears to be the only reason we have a forward direction of time.. Energy at lower entropy can do more work than energy at higher entropy.. AN orderly energy is more useful than one that is less orderly. The essential concepts are embodied in Maxwell & S equations.. Einstein thought that if the speed of light was determined by two constants, Mu naught and Epsilon Naught.. These two constants determine the speed. They measure the resistance of space to changing electrical and magnetic fields.. This was one of the postulates of special relativity.. The second postulate was the principle of relativity, meaning the laws of physics are the same for all observes who are moving at the same velocity relative to each other.. There are many equations in quantum mechanics, but in my view. There are three principles that are the most important to remember. These principles are expressed. In three equations. The first idea was championed by Max Planck,, arguably the father of quantum mechanics.. The second idea is expressed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.. The third idea is that prior to measurement, quantum systems are in superposed states..
A quantum system can be an elementary particle like an electron or even atoms and molecules that are sufficiently isolated.. Isolated means that they haven&t interacted with something that would cause their wave function to collapse.. THis is the non--deterministic reality that Einstein had a hard time accepting..
