Description: Šta matematika može da kaže o istoriji? Po rečima TEDFellow Žana-Batiste Mišela, prilično mnogo. Od promena, preko jezika do smrtonosnih ratova, on pokazuje kako digitalizovana istorija tek počinje da otkriva duboke obrasce u svojoj osnovi.

Šta matematika može da kaže o istoriji? Po rečima TEDFellow Žana-Batiste Mišela, prilično mnogo. Od promena, preko jezika do smrtonosnih ratova, on pokazuje kako digitalizovana istorija tek počinje da otkriva duboke obrasce u svojoj osnovi.

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.
