Episode Synopsis

What can laws governing the natural world tell us about those that govern societies? According to Ted Sichelman: quite a bit. Employing a wealth of mathematical research, thought experiments and some truly mind-bending equations, the University of San Diego professor of law breaks down the ground-breaking quantitative measures he has developed to analyze legal systems. He goes on to outline the structural parallels between scientific and social laws, and how his findings apply to the real world. Get your calculators out for this one — you're going to need 'em.
