If you average the velocity of one molecule of the air in your room, as it collides from one molecule to the next, that average comes out the same as for all molecules in the room at one instant.
Thought experiment
Let’s pretend that our universe really is replicated over and over -- that our world is just one realization along with all the others.
We're formed in a thousand undramatic day-by-day choices.

Importance sampling
Metropolis Sampling I1. Current configuration: C(n)
2. Generate a trial configuration by selecting an atom at random and move it.
3. Calculate the change in energy for the trial configuration, U.
Metropolis Sampling IIIf U < 0, accept the move, so that the trial configuration becomes the (n+1) configuration, C(n+1).
If U >= 0, generate a random number r between 0 and 1;If r <= exp( -U/kBT ), accept the move, C(n+1) = C(t);If r > exp( -U/kBT ), reject the trial move. C(n+1) = C(n).
A sequence of configurations can be generated by using the above steps repeatedly.
Properties from the system can be obtained by simply averaging the properties of a large number of these configurations.
Markov ChainA sequence X1, X2, …, of random variable is called Markov if, for any n,
i.e., if the conditional distribution F of Xn assuming Xn-1, Xn-2, …, X1 equals the conditional distribution F of Xn assuming of onlyXn-1.
