*作者“大胡子物理学家”是一名科学网红，每周上传关于科普或数学的高度娱乐性短视频！

如果当你想到“物理学”时，你首先想到的就是穿着实验服的科学家通过望远镜观察或研究盒子里的量子猫，那么这本书非常适合你！21 世纪的物理学正在打破模型，今天的物理学家应用传统物理理念和工具来研究非常多样化的主题，一些我们可能都觉得跟物理学不相干的一些主题！这些包括动物的迁徙、城市贫民窟的形成、斑马如何长出条纹，甚至是成群的八哥飞过城市的动态。这些问题都有一个共同点：它们都是复杂的系统。我们可以在蚂蚁群、金属音乐会的歌迷、连接互联网的电脑、沙粒或混乱的激光中发现复杂性。我们周围充斥着新兴现象，这些现象只有在许多元素相互作用时才会存在。

在本书中，读者将找到对这个复杂宇宙的无数学介绍，在其中您可以了解复杂性科学如何出现在从生物学到经济学的不同领域。通过混沌理论、模式形成、幂律、网络或同步等概念，你将看到不同科学分支之间的界限如何模糊，从而揭示我们周围的相互联系和复杂性。

作者透过幽默的风格以及许多流行文化的应用让这本书增加阅读性，让读者简单能够了解这些负责的物理学理念！

Adrián, known online as "The Bearded Physicist", has a degree in Physics from the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) and a master's degree in Physics of Complex Systems from the Institute of Interdisciplinary Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC). He has more than 700,000 followers on his social networks, where he uploads popular science videos mixing physics and mathematics with geek culture in an original and entertaining way.

After being a semi-finalist in the FameLab national scientific monologue competition (organized by the FECyT), he has co-presented "Balears fa Ciència", the first and only scientific dissemination program on television in the Balearic Islands, in addition to having several sections in the radio version of the program. He has appeared on the stages of the main scientific dissemination events in Spain such as Desgranando Ciencia or Naukas, participates in the creative science and dissemination platform "Scenio" and is a member of the group of scientific stand-up comedians "Big Van Ciencia". In 2022 he was a finalist in TikTok's #ForYouFest awards in the Education "Reference Creator" category.
