The physical sciences and mathematics are extraordinarily useful in
explaining the material world. People and society are constrained
by physical reality, but we are often unclear on what constraints
are absolute, which may be relative, and those that are simply a
matter of taste. Bandwidth explains how limitations in the movement
and perception of information constrain human behavior, cognition,
interaction, and perspective. How fast can we learn? How much? Why
are habits and biases unavoidable? Why is the common statement 'any
nation that can land people on the moon surely can ...' frequently
wrong? Using equations and physical models, Bandwidth describes
constraints which, in part, explain political, economic, religious,
and personal frictions. Aspects considered include: how much
information can one human absorb in a lifetime? How far does a
process of perturbation propagate? How do specialization or
generalization, critical thinking or belief, influence what people
accomplish? Throughout, equations are used to compactly express
ideas, illustrating why mathematical economy of expression
accelerates communication and deeper understanding. The critical
impacts of uncertainty, fluctuations, or noise, and their
implications for law and society, are emphasized.
