Predicting Crowds’ Behavior with Nonlinear Physics
Mathematical models considering a dense crowd as a soft solid predicted counterclockwise collective movement during rock concerts. This article explains that if mathematical modeling of dense crowds as soft solids works for predicting the collective behavior of crowds at rock concerts, it is because everything material (from the smallest elementary particle to humans and even stars) is a material body and torus-shaped nonlinear electromagnetic field (NEMF). We can come to the same conclusion for the crowd behavior at rock concerts, knowing that at positive emotions our NEMFs spin clockwise, according to Russian measurements. Nonlinear physics teaches that vortices spin clockwise and suck energy. When the energy sucked by the NEMFs of the crowd reaches the critically high value, it triggers collective movement of the crowd counterclockwise to release some of the extra energy. Nonlinear physics teaches that anti-vortices spin counterclockwise and emit energy upward, which means that some of the extra excitation energy will be released in the atmosphere. Knowing that at negative emotions the NEMFs of all humans spin clockwise and lose energy, at disaster when the energy of a crowd reaches a critically low energy value, it will trigger collective movement of the crowd clockwise to replenish some of the lost energy because vortices spin clockwise and suck energy. Thus, we predicted that in the case of disaster a dense crowd could be expected to move collectively in clockwise direction, at which some of the extra negative energy of the crowd would be released downward to the earth.
