17 Equations That Brought A Change!

Thermodynamics Second Law: This law that proves the dissipation of energy and heat over time, has been very essential in understanding energy and the universe through the concept of entropy. Based on the idea that nature has no reversible processes, by Sadi Carnot, which was later extended by Ludwig Boltzman, the equation was formally stated by Wiliiam Thomson.

Relativity: This theory by Einstein has proved to be the most famous equation in history. The theory states that energy is always equal to mass times the speed of light squared and has been a useful method in changing our view of matter and reality to this day. In modern times it has helped in the use of nuclear weapons.

Schrodinger : This equation founded by Louis Victor de Broglie, and states that models matter not as a particle but a wave, reveals to us the dual nature of matter. It has helped revolutionize at small scales, our view of physics. This equation has been extremely helpful in modern computer technology, by being of use to transistors and semiconductors.

Information Theory: Developed by Claude Shannon after the second  world war, this equation in estimating how much data exists in a piece of code using the probabilities of its components symbols. This equation has in fact helped in ushering the age of information where engineers no longer have to seek codes that are too efficient. It has established the boundaries for the making of almost everything from CDs to digital communications.
