Rome, 7 Aug. (LaPresse) – “Dear friends at Spin Time, I am very sorry that I cannot be with you today. I have very fond memories of the talk I gave four years ago to the young people of Spin Time, in which I tackled a difficult topic – how to bring order out of chaos – and I was very impressed by their intellectual vigour and the depth of their responses. I am delighted to send you my thoughts of closeness and solidarity.” So said Nobel laureate Giorgio Parisi in a video message sent to Spin Time activists. “In my life as a scientist,” he continues in the video, “I have studied complex systems – phenomena in which new forms of organisation can emerge from disorder. I have learnt that a system does not survive solely through its rules, but above all through the relationships between its parts: it is the connections, the interactions and the ability to collaborate that enable a community to weather crises.” The Nobel laureate emphasises that “these days, Spin Time is showing us precisely this: when faced with a difficult situation, hundreds of people are not simply a collection of individuals, but a community that looks after itself. Women, children, girls, teenagers, the elderly, and workers are going through a very tough time, and what is emerging is an extraordinary capacity for solidarity, organisation and mutual support.”
