If All Knowledge Were Destroyed Except for One Sentence, What Would It Say?

Richard Feynman famously asked: "If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generations of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?"

“The same mathematics of networks that governs the interactions of molecules in a cell, neurons in a brain, and species in an ecosystem can be used to understand the complex interconnections between people, the emergence of group identity, and the paths along which information, norms, and behavior spread from person to person to person.” —James Fowler is a political scientist at the University of California, San Diego.

 

Basically, the universe, ourselves, our thoughts, and our interactions all follow the same, simple blueprint.  Like chaos theory and fractals, the seemingly complex only appears as such until you understand the few simple rules governing the system.
