Modeling Rumors: The No Plane Pentagon French Hoax Case
The recent astonishing wide adhesion of french people to the rumor claiming ‘No plane did crash on the Pentagon on September the 11”, is given a generic explanation in terms of a model of minority opinion spreading. Using a majority rule reaction-diffusion dynamics, a rumor is shown to invade for sure a social group provided it fulfills simultaneously two criteria. First it must initiate with a...
متن کاملThere is no universal countable pentagon-free graph
No countable C,-free graph contains every countable C,-free graph as a subgraph, for n 2 4. For n = 4, this was proved earlier by J. Pach.
متن کاملThe Einstein Hoax
Standard experimental techniques exist to determine the propagation speed of forces. When we apply these techniques to gravity, they all yield propagation speeds too great to measure, substantially faster than light-speed. This is because gravity, in contrast to light, has no detectable aberration or propagation delay for its action, even for cases (such as binary pulsars) where sources of grav...
متن کاملDeflating the Pentagon
In this paper we consider deflations (inverse pocket flips) of n-gons for small n. We show that every pentagon can be deflated after finitely many deflations, and that any infinite deflation sequence of a pentagon results from deflating an induced quadrilateral on four of the vertices. We describe a family of hexagons that deflate infinitely for a specific deflation sequence, yet induce no infi...
