Albert-Laszlo Barabasi Quotes

Nature Normally Hates Power Laws. In Ordinary Systems All Quantities Follow Bell Curves, And Correlations Decay Rapidly, Obeying Exponential Laws. But All That Changes If The System Is Forced To Undergo A Phase Transition. Then Power Laws Emerge-nature's Unmistakable Sign That Chaos Is Departing In Favor Of Order. The Theory Of Phase Transitions Told Us Loud And Clear That The Road From Disorder To Order Is Maintained By The Powerful Forces Of Self-organization And Is Paved By Power Laws. It Told Us That Power Laws Are Not Just Another Way Of Characterizing A System's Behavior. They Are The Patent Signatures Of Self-organization In Complex Systems.
