Jean-Baptiste Michel: Matematika povijesti

Što matematika može reći o povijesti? Prema TED Fellowu Jean-Baptistu Michelu, dosta toga. Od jezičnih promjena do smrtonosnosti ratova, on pokazuje kako digitalizirana povijest tek počinje otkrivati duboke temeljne obrasce.

Mathematics is revealing surprising regularities in how languages evolve and how wars unfold across centuries. For example, irregular verbs in English become regular at predictable rates, and wars are exponentially less frequent as they grow deadlier. With millions of books now digitized, the once unmeasurable fabric of human history is open to quantitative analysis. As data grows, the sciences and humanities are poised to merge, unlocking deeper insights about how cultures change.
