This episode from @The-Well, created with the @JohnTempletonFoundation, features network scientist Albert-László Barabási. He challenges the idea of random connections in complex systems, revealing a more accurate organization. His research, starting with the internet, uncovered "scale-free networks" where connections follow a power-load distribution, not random patterns.

Barabási's groundbreaking work shows that new connections form with already well-connected elements. These scale-free networks are found in diverse systems, from cellular interactions to social networks, offering crucial insights into the world's inherent complexity.
