I remember hearing a physicist describe how incredible it was that the world could be described by mathematics. It was wondrous to him how variables and formulas could capture behaviors of our seemingly unpredictable and complex world.
However, mathematics cannot describe everything, such as social behavior and randomized human behaviors.
I find it amazing how information graphics can describe our world’s realities also! This graphic was created by an architecture student from the AA, describing the behaviors of Flickr. This image is proof that infographics pick up where mathematics left off, describing our social networking behaviors in a concise and clear manner.
