notes that no other factor in medicine - ''not diet, not
smoking, not exercise, not stress, not genetics, not
drugs, not surgery - has a greater effect on how often we
get sick than the healing power of love.''

The Science of FriendshipThe many factors that influence an individual’s fate to meet
an acquaintance and decide to become a friend are
impossible to capture, but physicists have done it anyway
and “with near precision”.
“The idea behind our model, though simple, is different
from the usual paradigmatic approaches,” Gonzalez told

(students), which at the beginning have no acquaintances;
by moving in a continuous space they collide with each
other, forming their friendships.”
Using physical science to understand human
interactions? Well, it was Social Statistics that guided the
development of the kinetic theory of gases. I’m not sure
what that means – but I feel a poem coming on – We are
like molecular gases in the atmosphere…
