Human physicsThis is a featured page

In science, human physics is the study of human particles using the principles and laws of physics. A pure example of human physics is the study of the force of attachment between humans, in terms of the fundamental forces, e.g. field particle exchange models.

Some of the work by social/physical science analogy theorists, such as Malcolm Gladwell on tipping points (2000), Mark Buchanan on power laws (2000) or social atoms (2007), Philip Ball on critical mass (2004), among others, might be considered as ‘human physics’. In addition, Adrian Bejan's 2007 constructal theory to the explain social dynamics and branching flows, is often characterized loosely as human physics. [1]
