The assumption that has driven much of scientific research of the twentieth century was: divide and conquer. Yet there we any closer to understanding nature as a whole. The complexity
try to understand the behavior of systems composed of millions of shares and identify how order emerges from chaos and randomness through the laws of self-organization.
Nothing happens in isolation: we have come to understand the importance of networks, groups of nodes connected by links .
Each network ranges studied so far between 2 and 14 degrees of separation. How do the networks to settle on such a short route despite consisting of thousands of nodes? The answer is in their nature highly interconnected. The theory of random networks told us that it is only a single link to each node for the formation of a giant cluster. Once this critical threshold is exceeded (as happens in real networks) collapses the distance between the nodes. The world of the twentieth century is irretrievably collapsed. One property of networks is to be a small worlds - different from the world-where Euclidean distances are not measured in kilometers. Browsing this world, we happen to see many of our intuitions betrayed: out there a new geometry.
