Not that good at physics? Your business might be at risk...
Physics of Risk is becoming more and more popular and gaining more attention from the media. This time our permanent contributor Aleksejus Kononovicius gave an interview to a journalist Marija Rudzevičiūtė from Bzn start. The original article was published in Lithuanian language, but here you can find its free form translation to English.
"Probably most of us were stuck in a traffic jam for at least once in our life. Some of us were certainly stuck in a traffic jam, though there were no car crash, no road works or no other apparent reason for the road to be jammed. Yet all cars move in a jerky motion - they suddenly accelerate, move a bit and then suddenly stop. The reason lies in a small errors made by the drivers themselves", everyday situation in a large city is reviewed by Aleksejus Kononovicius, younger research fellow at Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy, Vilnius University. He is also a current contributor to the "Physics of Risk", a website which presents an idea that "more physics - less risk" for a broader society.
