Absolutely. It's such a critical issue now, and people just don't understand it correctly. If you're enjoying the podcast, and I really hope you are, please review us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. It really helps get the word out.

Fires, earthquakes, stock market crashes, and even wars. They seem totally unrelated. But what if all these catastrophes follow the same hidden pattern? Is there a natural structure of instability which explains both natural and human catastrophes and why they happen? Hi, everyone. I'm Lynn Thoman, and this is Three Takeaways.

Is there a natural structure of instability which explains both natural and human catastrophes and why they happen? Hi, everyone. I'm Lynn Thoman, and this is Three Takeaways.

On Three Takeaways, I talk with some of the world's best thinkers, business leaders, writers, politicians, newsmakers, and scientists. Each episode ends with three key takeaways to help us understand the world and maybe even ourselves a little better. Today I'm excited to be with Mark Buchanan. He's a prize-winning physicist and author.

He was formerly editor with the international science journal Nature, and he's written for many other journals and newspapers, including the New York Times. His books and articles explore ideas of physics to better understand patterns in other fields.

His wonderful book, Ubiquity, tells the fascinating story of the discovery that there is a natural structure of instability woven into the fabric of our world. I'm excited to find out more about the pervasiveness of instability and why both natural and human catastrophes happen. Welcome, Mark, and thanks so much for joining Three Takeaways today. Well, thanks for having me on. It is my pleasure.

Mark, can you explain the new math that underlies our world?

You found that fires, earthquakes, avalanches, stock market crashes, wars and other catastrophes follow the same hidden patterns. What are those hidden patterns?

You believe that catastrophes aren't random, that they follow essentially rules. Can you explain more?

Does that mean that instability isn't a glitch in the system, whether it's avalanches or earthquakes or pandemics or wars, but it's actually the system itself?
