Explore the fascinating world of emergent behavior in humans and animals through the lens of scientific prediction. Discover how physics principles can model crowd dynamics, traffic patterns, and animal group behaviors. Learn about the kinetic theory of gases, statistical mechanics, and their applications to human and animal collective behavior. Delve into the concept of emergence in complex systems and understand how simple rules can lead to intricate, seemingly intelligent group behaviors. Examine real-world examples of emergent phenomena, from pedestrian movements to bird murmurations and fish schooling. Gain insights into how these models reveal fundamental truths about the universe's workings and the predictability of large-scale behaviors despite individual unpredictability.
