PickVidsGeoffrey West on COMPLEXITY
推荐理由
For a great, accessible intro talk on this topic, check out Geoffrey West's
说明
这是2011年由FQxI发布的一部演讲，主题归在Fundamental physics。它讲的是scaling laws and complexity这一支里的具体问题，而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成：Physicist Geoffrey West speaks at an FQXi conference on time about complexity and scaling laws. He covers how metabolism, growth and lifespan scale across organisms and how the same mathematics applies to cities and companies.这些读者给出的理由，核心是：HN commenters recommend it as an accessible introduction to scaling laws and to why cities keep growing while companies and organisms eventually die.讲法不绑某一条新闻，过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2014年到2018年，有3位不同的读者在4个不同月份把它推荐出来，其中明确叫别人去看的有0次。适合一次性看完。讲者把一个判断讲透，演示是在给这个判断配例子。如果已经会了基本定义，就把注意力放在它怎么把scaling laws and complexity变成能跟着复述的例子。
