For more than 300 years, Newton’s third law has stood as one of the strongest foundations of classical physics. But the movement of bird flocks, bacterial swarms, and other collective systems has challenged the traditional understanding of action and reaction. Researchers have developed a new theory that explains how these unusual interactions work without abandoning established physics, as per a report by Science Daily.
The discovery could help scientists better understand animal movement, biological systems, and even complex quantum behaviors.
