In a nutshell Crowds naturally form organized lanes when most people walk in two main directions, but become chaotic when walking directions vary beyond a critical threshold of 13-16 degrees. Walking ...

Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very ...
