Why scientists must
work together to save
the world PAGE305
INTERDISCIPLINARITY
THE INTERNATIONAL WEEKLY JOURNAL OF SCIENCE
To solve the grand challenges
facing society — energy, water,
climate, food, health —
scientists and social scientists
must work together.

Quetelet was keenly aware of the overwhelming complexity
of social phenomena, and the many variables that needed
measurement. His goal was to understand the statistical laws
underlying such phenomena as crime rates, marriage rates
or suicide rates. He wanted to explain the values of these
variables by other social factors. These ideas were rather
controversial among other scientists at the time who held
that it contradicted a concept of freedom of choice.

His most influential book was Sur l'homme et le développement de
ses facultés, ou Essai de physique sociale, published in 1835. In it,
he outlines the project of a social physics and describes his
concept of the "average man" (l'homme moyen) who is
characterized by the mean values of measured variables that
follow a normal distribution.
Social physics
14. @anxosan
To be more provocative — maybe even arrogant?— I
think that physicists are often dumfounded when they
look into economics and see the way theories get built
there. Significantly, it is an experience they DON’T
have when they look into other fields. Neuroscientists try
to understand the brain by studying the interactions
among huge number of neurons, neurotransmitters and
so on. They’ve recently turned to very large scale
simulations as perhaps the best way to make progress,
and it is easy to see why.
Physics vs economics
15. @anxosan
Neuroscientists don't try to force their theories into a
form where we can think of intelligence as emerging
from the balanced interactions between one
representative neuron and one representative
neurotransmitter, because this would actually eliminate
the nonlinear feedbacks and systemic network complexity
that is the central phenomenon of study. Same goes in,
say, ecology or weather science where modern scientists
are trying to find ways to understand complexity as it is.
To a physicist, economics looks truly weird in this
regard.
Physics vs economics
16. @anxosan
Physicists study collective phenomena
emerging from the interactions of
individuals as elementary units in
complex socio-technological systems

On modeling
“It can scarcely be denied that the supreme goal of all
theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple
and as few as possible without having to surrender the
adequate representation of a single datum of experience.”
Albert Einstein
The Herbert Spencer Lecture
Oxford (10 June 1933)
Also published in Philosophy of Science 1, 163-169 (1934)
29. @anxosan
On modeling
“This model will be a simplification and an idealization,
and consequently a falsification. It is to be hoped that the
features retained for discussion are those of the greatest
importance in the present state of knowledge”
Alan M. Turing
“The chemical basis of morphogenesis”
Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. B 237, 37-72 (1952)

35. @anxosan
Big data
Volume. Organizations collect data from a variety of sources,
including business transactions, social media and information from
sensor or machine-to-machine data. In the past, storing it would’ve
been a problem – but new technologies (such as Hadoop) have eased
the burden.
Velocity. Data streams in at an unprecedented speed and must be
dealt with in a timely manner. RFID tags, sensors and smart
metering are driving the need to deal with torrents of data in near-
real time.
Variety. Data comes in all types of formats – from structured,
numeric data in traditional databases to unstructured text
documents, email, video, audio, stock ticker data and financial
transactions.
36. @anxosan
Big data
You can take data from any source and analyze it to find answers
that enable 1) cost reductions, 2) time reductions, 3) new product
development and optimized offerings, and 4) smart decision making.
When you combine big data with high-powered analytics, you can
accomplish business-related tasks such as:
• Determining root causes of failures, issues and defects in near-
real time.
• Generating coupons at the point of sale based on the
customer’s buying habits.
• Recalculating entire risk portfolios in minutes.
• Detecting fraudulent behavior before it affects your
organization.

• Embeddedness / clustering / triadic closure / weak ties
• Embeddedness, clustering:
People who spend time with a third
are likely to encounter each other
(triadic closure). Minimizes conflict,
maximizes trusts,…
• Bridges, structural holes (Burt):
Bridges have structural advantages
since they have access to non-
redundant information
• Weak ties (Granovetter): weak ties
tend to connect different areas of
the network (they are more likely to
be sources of novel information)
