👉 Metastability is a state of equilibrium where two or more systems are in stable states that may be disturbed by external factors, such as temperature, pressure, or chemical changes. This condition can persist for long periods without any observable change in the system's properties. Metastable states are often found in biological systems and can occur when a system is subjected to multiple stimuli simultaneously, leading to an instability of the state where all the components are in equilibrium. Metastability can be characterized by a series
