Answer 1

Imagine a standard jigsaw puzzle with 1000 pieces with the exception that multiple pieces can fit together with many different pieces (as opposed to 1 piece only connecting in 1 exact way on a standard puzzle).

All of the pieces can be be rearranged in dramatically different ways in this example, and even though the base pieces may be the same, the overall picture can change dramatically based on configuration.

That’s really it. There are an insane amount of ways to rearrange atoms, molecules, etc, and those arrangements can produce wildly different effects.
