Unveiling the Nature of Social Physics
摘要
Social physics has a long history of influencing the explanation of social phenomena in a structured and quantitative way. Social physics mainly focuses on the scientific way of explaining human interactive behaviour along with their futuristic trend. This paper tries to define the concept of social physics in various possible ways. The different approaches to imply social physics in explaining human interactions and networking are the highlights of the current discourse. This descriptive chapter deals with the futuristic trends of social physics along with a special mention of the correlation between social physics and geography. The close association of social physics with data analytics and the ethical dimension of data handling is not overlooked as a matter of discussion. This chapter aimed to give an overview of the discipline of social physics and its multidisciplinary nature.
