Steven Strogatz: How things in nature tend to sync up

- www.ted.com Mathematician Steven Strogatz shows how flocks of creatures (like birds, fireflies and fish) manage to synchronize and act as a unit -- when no one's giving orders. The powerful tendency extends into the realm of objects, too.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts.

This guy wrote my math textbook. WHAT A LEGEND
The Universe every day teaches me God exists. I learn it from seeing how beautiful and vast and ordered and complex everything is, how scientific laws and animals teach man morals by their actions and behaviour, the intelligence and morality and consicence of man, evolution, the big bang, and many more discoveries which science makes every day.
While atheists and theists have their relentless, non-stop discussion ----- out there, this mystery continues to evolve.
awesome dude ... wish my eyeballs would sync up with 240p
That doesn't mean that either of them were correct in their assertions.
You have it exactly backwards. They are organized by free associations. This is the exact opposite of communist style central planning. The whole point is that each working individually for their own end, while following basic rules, produces an amazing order that a single leader could never do. Read F.A. Hayek's "Law, Legislation, and Liberty". He discuses in depth the merits of this type of spontaneous order in more complex human populations.
Who's here because of 9GAG? Hands up! o/
I read his book on non linear dynamics.....After watching this video I am inspired to work on this field 🤗
Sometimes these books corroborate the Scriptures, sometimes -if they are heretical- they will contradict the Scriptures, sometimes the content is neutral. None of them (unless, in a few cases, you are Eastern Orthodox) are inspired Scripture and to be considered, in themselves, a reliable norm for truth. They are mostly useful for scholars or other people that have a special interest in studying them. For the rest of us, they are merely interesting.
Hello Duomonians
Asking questions in life is important. To investigate our faith is very important. I once heard a great quote, 'If you go to Church it doesn't make you a Christian' , and this is very true.
Being religious,or believing in God is has nothing to do with credulity or superstition. Like science, it is based on evidence, reasoning, and judgment. But its object (God) is not a being in the world; therefore, its methods cannot be those of the ordinary empirical sciences.
one of the greatest TED talks, top 5 for sure.
This video explained me most things I needed to know about how the markets function
So that you understand what he's talking about, check out the book "Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos" by Steven Strogatz. It has become the standard introductory text on nonlinear dynamics. All you need to work through it is introductory linear algebra and basic ordinary differential equations.
DR. Steven Strogatz , thank you for an excellent lecture on How things in nature tends to sycn up.
This is really quite interesting because it sums up to the notion that the universe has a way of working things out. There is a relationship between everything; an interconnectingness. It is also exciting that mathematics and science are discovering such patterns and will enable our civilization to be more harmonious through technology and understanding. One day we will reap the full benefits of what the universe has to offer.
So much curiosity, creativity and beauty!
The clip of he birds and fish in synchrony was beautiful.
I'm so glad there are so many voices of reason in this little mini-debate going on.
Synchronization is powerful 🔥🔥
Beautifully entrancing! 😊
