Wilson's work has had a profound influence on the study of what in physics?

  • Quantum States

  • General Relativity

  • Phase Transitions

  • Cosmology

Answer

Phase transitions are profound changes in a system's state, such as from a solid to a liquid or a gas. Kenneth Wilson's work helped physicists understand these changes by introducing the concept of universality, showing that different systems undergoing phase transitions can exhibit similar behavior. This framework has significantly advanced our understanding of diverse phenomena, ranging from the behavior of subatomic particles to the properties of materials.
