Isotropy

Isotropy refers to a property of a material or space where its characteristics are the same in all directions. For example, a perfectly round ball or a uniform metal sheet exhibits isotropy because their properties, like strength or appearance, don’t change no matter which way you look at or measure them. This concept is important in physics and engineering because it helps describe and predict how materials and spaces behave under various conditions, ensuring they respond uniformly regardless of the direction of force, stress, or measurement.
