Bandwidth : how mathematics, physics, and chemistry constrain society / Alexander Scheeline - India World Scientific 2023 - 419p.
This book 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? 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? It is aimed at general readers and scientists with an interest in how limitations of the physical sciences affect society and human behavior
