The first evidence of simple machines dates back to 2 million years ago: fossils from Africa of early hominids called Homo habilis have been found with the first stone tools - hand axes made from chipped rocks which functioned as crude wedges. The earliest Complex machines appeared much more recently

Fluctuations occur in all scales at phase transition. When this occurs, materials with different microscopic properties can behave identically. The class of materials that share same properties at phase transitions is called a universality class and the theory that describes it is scale invariant.

Quarks can interact through the strong interaction, a fundamental force. Quantum chromodynamics predicts that this force becomes stronger as distance scale lengthens. Thus the attraction between quarks increase with distance and isolated quarks are not observed. This effect is known as “quark confinement”.


Conversely, the strong interaction becomes insignificant below a certain distance scale. This is known as asymptotic freedom.
