Explore the fascinating world of network science in this thought-provoking lecture on the collapse of networks. Delve into emergent properties, control theory, and self-organization before examining the concept of network endings. Investigate multilayered networks, the reasons behind network collapses, and their implications for renewable energy integration. Analyze equilibria, architectures, and the balance between risk and fear. Distinguish between Black Swan events and Dragon Kings while exploring natural dynamics, self-amplification, and conserved cascades. Conclude by examining social hierarchies and the impact of talent-dominated societies on network structures.
