Defying the Fundamentals: The Physics of Unpredictability Physicists in Japan have achieved a groundbreaking feat by creating a system where over 10,000 particles moved without being hindered by Newton's third law for an hour.
This law dictates that action and reaction are always equal and opposite. The breakthrough is significant because it creates opportunities to study complex systems at their most fundamental level.
Researchers used an alternating electric field to create a self organized system, where particles can move freely in the absence of external forces.
