TED: Is life really that complex? | Hannah Fry

The video explores the concept of complexity, highlighting Einstein's limitations in solving complex problems. It discusses the middle region of complexity, where human behavior lies, and introduces new scientific approaches using mathematics to model social systems. Examples include migration patterns and burglary hotspots, drawing analogies with physical processes. The London riots are analyzed using mathematical models, showing how understanding complex systems can improve societal strategies. The video concludes that while life is complex, understanding it need not be complicated.
