What's the difference between identical and isotropic?

Identical


Definition:

  • (a.) The same; the selfsame; the very same; not different; as, the identical person or thing.
  • (a.) Uttering sameness or the same truth; expressing in the predicate what is given, or obviously implied, in the subject; tautological.

Isotropic


Definition:

  • (a.) Having the same properties in all directions; specifically, equally elastic in all directions.

Example Sentences:
