to try and provide you with an answer,
da pokušam da vam pružim odgovor,
is split this neatly into two parts:
what I mean by "complex."
šta podrazumevam pod „složenim“.
niz zvaničnih definicija,
a host of formal definitions,
that Einstein and his peers can't do.
i njegove kolege ne mogu da reše.
if the clicker works ... there we go.
ako daljinski funkcioniše... evo ga.
that when he hits the cue ball,
i zna da, kada udari belu kuglu,
is going to hit the sides,
crvena lopta udariti ivice,
i gde će se zaustaviti.
and where it's going to end up.
up to the size of the solar system,
na veličinu Sunčevog sistema,
the path of the Earth around the Sun,
o putanji Zemlje oko Sunca,
u bilo kom trenutku.
at any point in time.
increase in difficulty,
the Moon in his calculations.
mogao uključiti Mesec.
recimo, Mars i Jupiter,
Mars and Jupiter, say,
to solve with a pen and paper.
rešio pomoću olovke i papira.
a handful of planets,
ako biste umesto nekoliko planeta
or even billions,
mnogo jednostavniji
to a molecular level.
na njihov molekularni nivo.
of an individual air molecule,
zasebnog molekula vazduha,
of air molecules all together,
molekula vazduha skupa,
which is quantifiable, predictable
koji se može izmeriti, predvidiv je
planes would fall out of the sky.
across the whole of the world,
with all of these air molecules.
kao sa svim ovim molekulima vazduha.
an individual rain droplet
zasebnu kapljicu kiše
or where it's going to end up.
this is how far science had got.
nauka je dotle stigla.
with a few objects
sa nekoliko predmeta,
with millions of objects
sa milionima predmeta
before Einstein's death,
pre Ajnštajnove smrti,
Warren Weaver made exactly this point.
je upravo ovo istakao.
has gone from one extreme to another,
otišla iz jednog ekstrema u drugi,
great middle region.
veliku središnju oblast.
is where complexity science lies,
gde složena nauka počiva
every single problem you can think of
koji vam može pasti na pamet
how to model the movement of a crowd.
model kretanja gomile ljudi.
to look at them all individually
da bismo ih zasebno posmatrali,
to annoying things like decisions
iritantnim stvarima
i to da ne žele da se sudare,
all the more complicated.
is going to be.
kako da smanjite nezaposlenost.
how to improve unemployment.
is going to be a hit or a flop.
biti hit ili propast.
we're completely screwed.
skroz smo nadrljali.
and life is way too complex.
sa ovim i život je previše složen.
of a new area of science
nove oblasti nauke
to model our social systems.
da napravi model naših društvenih sistema.
about statistics and computer simulations.
i kompjuterskim simulacijama.
equations about our society
jednačina o našem društvu
what's going on
da razumemo šta se dešava
or the weather prediction.
ili vremenskom prognozom.
because people have begun to realize
jer su ljudi počeli da shvataju
i iskorišćavati analogije
and those of the physical world around us.
i sistema iz fizičkog sveta oko nas.
of migration across Europe.
migranata širom Evrope.
all of the people together,
kada pogledate sve ljude zajedno,
they're following the laws of gravity.
kao da prate zakone gravitacije.
being attracted to one another,
privlače međusobno,
to areas with better job opportunities,
sa boljim poslovnim prilikama,
and lower unemployment.
i manjom nezaposlenošću.
are more likely to go for opportunities
radije prihvatiti prilike
iz Londona u Kent, na primer,
London to Kent, for example,
far away is felt much less.
se znatno manje oseti.
were looking into the patterns
Kalifornije u Los Anđelesu
udarnih tačaka provala u gradu.
is this idea of repeat victimization.
ideja o ponavljanju žrtve.
who manage to successfully rob an area,
da uspešno opljačkaju neku oblast,
and carry on burgling it.
i da nastave da je pljačkaju.
that are in place.
koje su uspostavljene.
ramp up the security,
ne pojačaju obezbeđenje,
will move off elsewhere.
between burglars and security
hot spots of the city.
udarna mesta u gradu.
this is exactly the same process
it's not burglars and security,
nema provalnika i obezbeđenja,
that creates these patterns
about the morphogenesis of leopard spots.
o morfogenezi leopardovih tačaka.
some of the warning signs with burglaries
da nađemo neke znake upozorenja provala,
better crime strategies to prevent crime.
bolje strategije sprečavanja zločina.
the West Midlands police right now
sa policijom Zapadnog Midlendsa
plenty of examples like this,
mnogo primera poput ovoga,
jedno od svojih istraživanja
with one from my own research
don't need me to tell you
doživeli najgori produženi period
the worst sustained period
we want to try and understand
želimo da pokušamo da razumemo
with better strategies
boljim strategijama
resolution in the future.
dovesti do bržeg razrešenja.
the sociologists here,
the individual motivations for a rioter,
o pojedinačnim motivima pobunjenika,
the rioters all together,
sve pobunjenike zajedno,
into a three-stage process
u proces od tri faze
you've got a group of friends.
grupu prijatelja.
a Foot Locker which is being raided,
opljačkane prodavnice sportske opreme,
a new pair of trainers.
u svoju torbu novi par patika.
"Come on down to the riots."
i kaže: „Dođi na pobune.“
more of their friends, who join them,
još prijatelja koji im se pridruže,
i još nekim, i tako to traje.
that a virus spreads through a population.
na koji se virus širi kroz populaciju.
of a couple of years ago,
od pre par godina,
the more people that got infected,
to je više postajalo zaraženo,
to get a handle on events.
da uspostave kontrolu.
he's decided he's going to riot.
odlučio je da će se pobuniti.
is pick a riot site.
je da odabere mesto pobune.
about rioters is that, um ...
o pobunjenicima je to da...
they're not prepared to travel
je da nisu spremni da putuju
osim ako je baš uzbudljivo mesto pobune.
having traveled less than a kilometer
putovao manje od kilometra
in consumer models of retail spending,
maloprodajne potrošnje,
to go to local shops,
u lokalne radnje,
to go a little bit further
dobra maloprodajna lokacija.
picked up by some of the papers,
već usvojile pojedine novine,
„kupovina nasiljem“,
"Shopping with violence,"
što se tiče našeg istraživanja.
in terms of our research.
getting caught by the police.
the police at all times,
kada ih je u većem broju.
with their limited resources,
sa svojim ograničenim sredstvima,
as much of the city as possible,
koliko god je to moguće,
so to speak, of rioters and police,
takoreći, pobunjenika i policije,
and prey in the wild.
predatora i žrtve u divljini.
foxes at all costs,
da izbegnu lisice po svaku cenu,
trying to look for rabbits.
pokušavajući da nađu zečeve.
about the dynamics of predators and prey.
o dinamici predatora i žrtve.
consumer spending flows.
o tokovima potrošnje.
how viruses spread through a population.
o tome kako se virusi šire populacijom.
together and exploit them,
i iskoristite ih,
model of what actually happened,
toga šta se zaista dogodilo,
the general patterns
we can almost use this as a petri dish
upotrebiti kao petrijevu šolju
were more susceptible than others
su podložnija od drugih
again in the future.
of this sort was completely unheard of.
ovakvo modelovanje bilo je nečuveno.
are an incredibly important tool
neverovatno važno sredstvo
our society overall.
našeg društva uopšte.
necessarily be that complicated.
ne mora nužno da bude tako složeno.

Why you should listen
Hannah Fry completed her PhD in fluid dynamics in early 2011 with an emphasis on how liquid droplets move. Then, after working as an aerodynamicist in the motorsport industry, she began work on an interdisciplinary project in complexity sciences at University College London. Hannah’s current research focusses on discovering new connections between mathematically described systems and human interaction at the largest scale.
