Applying Newtonian and Quantum Physics to Explain Bodily Phenomena
Understanding the human body and its intricate functions has long been a pursuit of science, drawing from disciplines as diverse as biology, chemistry, and physics. Remarkably, both Newtonian (classical) physics and quantum physics offer valuable frameworks for explaining various bodily phenomena, albeit at different scales and levels of complexity. While Newtonian mechanics effectively describes macroscopic processes such as blood flow, muscle movement, and skeletal dynamics, quantum physics sheds light on molecular and subatomic interactions underlying cellular respiration, enzyme catalysis, and even sensory perception. This article explores how these two branches of physics—seemingly disparate in their domains—converge to provide a more comprehensive understanding of life-sustaining mechanisms within the human body.
