      Would you believe that a broad range of human struggles can be understood by using a mathematical formula?

      You’re here, so probably… Yes?

      Ref: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov[/url]

      First published in 1942, Asimov’s most famous work is the “Foundation Series”

      The books feature Asimov’s predicted science of Psychohistory, in which the future course of the history of large human populations can be predicted.

        Actually, it’s a bit more complicated than that. What they are describing is how ideas spread on and against the limits of a given environment. In short, this is about abstract information flow and the potential to excite dormant triggers.

        This has a lot more to do with people panicking and people walmarting each other to death on Black Friday.

          The point is those equations apply to various human population group actions.

          The Black Friday and shares actions are similar to what happens in crypro trading, because the causes are similar.

            Rather than a mathematical formula, isn’t this just a case of mathematicians trying to define history repeating itself?
