(Inside Science) -- The 2021 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to three scientists who greatly improved our ability to understand and predict the behavior of complex systems. Half of the prize was jointly awarded to Syukuro Manabe from Princeton University and Klaus Hasselmann from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, "for the physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming." The other half went to Giorgio Parisi from Sapienza University of Rome "for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales."
Complex systems exist all around us, from the disorderly arrangement of atoms in a glass bottle to the chaotic behavior of the weather...
