about the mathematics of love.
o matematiki ljubezni.
are famously excellent at finding love.
da so odlični v iskanju ljubezni.
because of our dashing personalities,
and excellent pencil cases.
in odličnih peresnic za svinčnike.
an awful lot of work into the maths
naredili ogromno dela glede matematike,
on the subject, which is entitled,
ki nosi naslov:
(Laughter) --
(smeh) -
his chances of finding love.
svoje možnosti, da najde ljubezen.
v Združenem kraljestvu
is somebody who lives near him,
to find him attractive.
of 26 women in the whole of the UK.
Združenem kraljestvu 26 takšnih žensk.
is it Peter?
than the best estimates
kot so najboljše ocene,
extraterrestrial life forms there are.
izvenzemeljskih oblik življenja obstaja.
a 1 in 285,000 chance
of these special ladies
that's why mathematicians
zakaj se matematiki
going on nights out anymore.
da bi hodili ven.
to such a pessimistic view.
just as well as all of you do,
and rational and easily predictable.
in razumsko in enostavno predvidljivo.
that it can offer us
kar bi nam lahko ponudila,
is full of patterns
polna vzorcev
all about the study of patterns.
proučevanje vzorcev.
to the fluctuations in the stock market,
do nihanj na trgu vrednostnih papirjev,
or the growth of cities.
none of those things
and easily predictable, either.
in enostavno predvidljivo.
is so powerful that it has the potential
da ima potencial,
at almost anything.
kot je ljubezen.
and relevant mathematics is,
in pomembna je matematika,
mathematically verifiable tips for love.
preverljive nasvete za ljubezen.
website is OkCupid,
je OkCupid,
by a group of mathematicians.
ker jo je ustvarila skupina matematikov.
for almost a decade.
skoraj desetletje.
to search for patterns
interact with each other
seriously interesting findings.
resnično zanimivih odkritij.
that on an online dating website,
da na spletni strani za zmenkarije,
does not dictate how popular you are,
ne odloča o tvoji priljubljenosti,
think that you're ugly
da ste grdi,
section of OkCupid,
strani OkCupid
how attractive you think people are
kako privlačni se vam zdijo ljudje,
the average score,
selection of people receive,
ki jih izbrani ljudje dobijo,
on an online dating website.
priljubljenostjo na strani za zmenkarije.
have come up with.
ki so ga dobili fantje z OkCupida.
is that it's not totally true
da ne drži popolnoma,
the more messages you get.
več sporočil dobite.
of what is it about people up here
kaj je takšnega na ljudeh tu zgoraj,
than people down here,
od ljudi tu spodaj,
same score of attractiveness?
straightforward looks that are important.
samo videz sam po sebi.
findings with an example.
prikažem skozi primer.
Portia de Rossi, for example,
kot je Portia de Rossi,
is a very beautiful woman.
zelo lepa ženska.
but she's not a supermodel, either.
a tudi supermodel ni.
to someone like Sarah Jessica Parker,
z nekom, kot je Sarah Jessica Parker,
myself included, I should say,
is seriously fabulous
resnično čudovita
most beautiful creatures
on the face of the Earth.
i.e., most of the Internet,
na primer večina interneta,
a bit like a horse. (Laughter)
da izgleda kot konj. (smeh)
how attractive they thought
kako privlačni se jim zdita
or Portia de Rossi were,
them a score between 1 and 5,
to have roughly the same score.
približno enako oceno.
would be very different.
na katerega bi glasovali, zelo različen.
all be clustered around the 4
that she's very beautiful,
completely divides opinion.
mnenja zelo deljena.
that makes you more popular
bolj priljubljenega
think that you're attractive,
da ste privlačni,
think that you're a massive minger.
da ste grdi kot smrt.
than everybody just thinking
makes a bit more sense
who are sending these messages.
ki pošiljajo ta sporočila.
somebody's attractive,
won't necessarily be that interested.
ne bodo nujno tako zainteresirani.
less competition for you
for you to get in touch.
da vzpostavite stik.
to if you think somebody is attractive
da se vam nekdo zdi privlačen,
is going to think they're attractive.
da se bo vsem zdel privlačen.
humiliating yourself, let's be honest?
zakaj bi se trudili, da se ponižate?
interesting part comes.
that they use on an online dating website,
na spletni strani za zmenkarije,
will find unattractive.
da bi se komu zdele neprivlačne.
who are, perhaps, a little bit overweight
ki so morda nekoliko pretežki,
a very cropped photo,
where they're wearing hats.
na katerih nosijo klobuke.
of what you should do
kar bi morali početi,
whatever it is that makes you different,
karkoli je tisto, kar vas dela drugačnega,
will find it unattractive.
da se boste nekaterim zdeli neprivlačni.
are just going to fancy you anyway,
boste vseeno všeč,
well, they only play up to your advantage.
pa vam bodo samo koristile.
How to pick the perfect partner.
Kako izbrati popolnega partnerja.
that you're a roaring success
of how do you then convert that success
kako pretvoriti ta uspeh
and in particular,
when is the right time to settle down?
kdaj je pravi čas za ustalitev.
it's not advisable to just cash in
da kar zagrabite
who comes along
want to leave it too long
ne želite čakati predolgo,

ali vzbudila naklonjenost."
What do you know about love?
Kaj pa ti veš o ljubezni?
is the right time to settle down
kdaj je pravi čas, da se ustalite,
that you can date in your lifetime?
lahko v življenju greste ven?
of mathematics that we can use
precej slasten del matematike,
optimal stopping theory.
teorija optimalnega ustavljanja.
ko ste stari 15
by the time that you're 35.
biti poročeni pri 35-ih.
date across your lifetime,
lahko hodili
levels of goodness.
you cash in and get married,
da ko enkrat zagrabite in se poročite,
what you could have had,
da bi videli, kar bi lahko imeli,
and change your mind.
ne morete nazaj, da bi si premislili.
much like being recalled
običajno ne marajo, da jih poiščete
for somebody else, or that's just me.
nekoga drugega, ali pa sem to samo jaz.
that what you should do
da kar morate narediti, je,
of your dating window,
as serious marriage potential.
neresne potenciale za poroko.
next person that comes along
naslednjo osebo, ki pride mimo
that you've seen before.
ki ste jih videli do takrat.
mathematically proven, in fact,
se lahko dejansko matematično dokaže,
of finding the perfect partner.
za najdbo popolnega partnerja.
this method does come with some risks.
prinaša tudi določena tveganja.
your perfect partner appeared
da se je vaš popolni partner pojavil
you'd have to reject them.
you've seen before,
ki ste jih videli pred tem,
rejecting everyone and die alone.
in umreti sami.
nibbling at your remains.
ki grizljajo vaše ostanke.
let's imagine, instead,
če si namesto tega predstavljate,
in your first 37 percent
s katerimi ste šli na zmenek v prvih 37 %,
boring, terrible people.
dolgočasni, grozni ljudje.
you're in your rejection phase,
ker ste v fazi zavračanja,
you can reject them.
lahko jih zavrnete.
person to come along
da je naslednja oseba, ki pride mimo,
dull and terrible
pusta in grozna,
I'm afraid you have to marry them
se bojim, da se morate poročiti z njo
which is, frankly, suboptimal.
odkrito, neoptimalna.

and really cater for this market.
in resnično zadovolji ta trg.
(Laughter)
(smeh)

kot mi običajno uspeva.
you a 100 percent success rate,
100 odstotne stopnje uspeha,
strategy that can do any better.
ki bi lahko bila boljša.
there are certain types
employ this exact strategy.
in uporabljajo prav to strategijo.
suitor that turns up
ki se pojavi
of the mating season,
that comes along after that window
ki pride mimo po tem oknu,
that they've seen before.
humans, we do sort of do this anyway.
na nek način to tako ali tako počnemo.
to play the field,
or whatever when we're young.
ko smo mladi.
at potential marriage candidates
kandidati za poroko,
if ever it were needed,
če je sploh bil potreben,
to be just a little bit mathematical.
da so vsaj malo matematični.
Kako se izogniti ločitvi.
that you picked your perfect partner
da ste si izbrali popolnega partnerja
a lifelong relationship with them.
v doživljenjsko razmerje z njim.
would ideally like to avoid divorce,
da bi se vsak rad izognil ločitvi,

Piers Morganove žene, mogoče?
States ends in divorce,
konča z razvezo,
not being far behind.
that precede a marital breakup
ki se pojavijo pred razdorom zakona
for mathematical investigation.
za matematično preiskavo.
or what you should be quantifying.
ali kaj bi naj preštel.
John Gottman, who did exactly that.
Johna Gottmana, ki je naredil natančno to.
having a conversation
ki so se pogovarjali
everything you can think of.
vse, kar si lahko zamislite.
in the conversation,
kar je bilo izrečeno v pogovoru,
or not the wife was actually always right,
ali ima žena vedno vse prav ali ne,
most important predictors
najpomembnejših napovedovalcev,

partner was being in the conversation.
je bil v pogovoru vsak od partnerjev.
on Gottman's scale than negative.
na Gottmanovi lestvici kot negativnih.
going to get divorced,
da se bosta verjetno ločila,
into a spiral of negativity.
was going to get divorced
with a mathematician, James Murray,
z matematikom Jamesom Murrayjem,
and how they occur.
in kako se pojavijo.
impressively simple and interesting.
in impresivno preprosti in zanimivi.
the wife or husband is going to respond
they're going to be.
when they're on their own,
they're with their partner,
ko je s svojim partnerjem,
influence one another.
drug na drugega.
to point out at this stage,
da na tej točki poudarim,
have also been shown
countries in an arms race.
državama v tekmi oboroževanja.
spiraling into negativity
the beginning of a nuclear war.
začetku jedrske vojne.
in this equation
have on one another,
ki ga imajo ljudje drug na drugega,
the negativity threshold.
prag negativnosti.
how annoying the husband can be
kako siten je lahko mož,
really pissed off, and vice versa.
in obratno.
were about compromise and understanding
temeljijo na kompromisu in razumevanju
have the space to be themselves.
da ima oseba prostor, da je, kar je.
the most successful relationships
da so morda najuspešnejša razmerja
a really high negativity threshold.
zelo visok prag negativnosti.
they really were a big deal.
če so resnično velika stvar.
and subsequent findings by the team
in kasnejša odkritja ekipe
or the most successful couples,
ali najuspešnejši pari
negativity threshold.
zelo nizek prag negativnosti.
let anything go unnoticed
da gre mimo neopaženo
some room to complain.
nekaj prostora za pritoževanje.
trying to repair their own relationship,
popraviti svoje razmerje,
outlook on their marriage.
sliko o svojem zakonu.
end up being a really big deal.
stvari postale resnično velika stvar.
just a low negativity threshold
kot le nizek prag negativnosti
have a successful relationship.
da bi imeli uspešno razmerje.
mathematical evidence
let the sun go down on your anger.
da bi sonce zašlo nad našo jezo.
with love and relationships.
pri ljubezni in odnosih.
that aside from their use as tips,
da so nasveti,
into the power of mathematics.
and symbols aren't just a thing.
niso samo stvar.
about the incredible richness of nature
o neverjetnem bogastvu narave
and warp and evolve all around us,
in raztezajo in razvijajo vse okoli nas,
do tega, kako se obnašamo.
for just a couple of you,
the mathematics of love
a little bit more love for mathematics.
imeli malo več ljubezni do matematike.
