The transition from Newtonian mechanics to quantum mechanics in the early years of the twentieth century was a major step in the progress of our understanding of the world. This transition involved more than just a change of equations–it led to a deep change in our understanding of the limits of human knowledge. It included from the very beginning a statistical interpretation of the theory.Statistical concepts were originally introduced to provide a classical (ie not quantum-theoretic) description of complex systems with many degrees of freedom, such as a volume of fluid including a very large number of molecules. These large systems cannot be fully described and/or predicted since no human being has enough computational power to solve Newton’s equations1 where the initial data (position and velocity) involve too many particles.
