From spark to inferno: New model inspired by forest fires could
explain why some ideas go viral
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=245135&nl=daily a rumor

From conspiracy theories to new fashion trends, some online ideas
explode in hours—capturing attention and shaping discourse—while
others hardly gain attention. What makes some ideas go viral while
others fizzle out? A recent study in Physical Review Letters sheds new
light on this question. Researchers from the University of Vermont and
the Santa Fe Institute devised a model that treats a piece of
information not as static and unchanged as it spreads, but one that
gains or loses strength in the course of propagation, much like a
forest fire. Unlike traditional models which treat a joke, idea, or
even a virus as fixed while it is circulating, this new model shows
that the ability of an idea to shift in intensity during transmission
is what can lead to the viral patterns seen online.

hoofing it for your health may feel repetitive and even boring after a

with a partner. It can serve as a warmup or a mini form of
cross-training. Experts say the key is to start off slowly.
