Social Physics

We suddenly find ourselves in the era of Big Data....data about you and me. There is danger of privacy invasion and a Big Brother government, but there is also opportunity is for a society that works dramatically better. The purpose of SocialPhysics.org is to harness Big Data in order to build a world with greater personal security, without financial crashes, where disease pandemics are quickly stopped, where energy and water are no longer wasted, and where governments are part of the solution rather than part of the problem. |
