◎Introduction
2021 Nobel Prize in Physics winner reveals the hidden laws of a disordered world
Bring your curiosity and experience the beauty of scientific certainty in exploration
Why does the formation of the giant flock of birds change unpredictably at high speed when there is no commander?
Are there simple, universal and constant laws hidden beneath the seemingly complex and disordered appearance?
The breakthrough discovery of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics winner reveals the simple order behind complex systems and has a profound impact on the development of information optimization, machine learning, artificial intelligence and other fields.
In this book, George Parisi uses humorous language to explain in a simple and easy-to-understand way the key results that won him the Nobel Prize. The vivid and interesting research experience and ingenuity take us back to the first scene of scientific exploration. There is no formula here. As long as you bring your curiosity, you can fly into the wonderland of complex systems with a physicist with a different mindset and feel the unrestrained imagination and the beauty of scientific certainty.

George Parisi made seminal contributions to our understanding of complex physical systems. He discovered the interplay between disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from the atomic to the planetary scale.
——Nobel Prize in Physics Award Speech
In the book "Fly with the Starlings", Professor George Parisi shows everyone the wonders of complexity. At the same time, through his concise and profound description, we can also find that Professor Parisi's original intention of pursuing science is pure and profound. In any situation, he believes that behind the complex appearance, there are simple and universal basic laws, and he insists on paying attention to and exploring the essential core of things. This is particularly instructive in our more complex world today.
—— Di Zengru, Professor of School of Systems Science, Beijing Normal University
This book tells stories of scientific exploration, which is more interesting and brain-burning than detective novels because it is true. If you are willing to accept this intellectual challenge, you will appreciate a lot of order in nature and human society.
——Wan Weigang, science writer, columnist for the "Elite Daily Lesson" on the Get app
If searching for laws in disordered systems is like exploring in the dark, then Parisi's theory is like Prometheus' fire, bringing the initial light.
——Jin Yuliang, researcher at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Very beautiful research, very beautiful writing. Really good research is to discover the truth of the universe from the details. There is no doubt that complexity research is the most important research field today, and I hope to continue to learn and follow the progress in this field.
——Hao Jingfang, science fiction writer, Hugo Award winner
The field of complex systems is dedicated to exploring the simple laws contained in the complex world. George Parisi is a leading scientist in this field. In this book, he not only reveals his experience in scientific exploration, but also tells many interesting experiences. I read it almost in one breath, and laughed out loud from time to time.

About the Author · · · · · ·
Giorgio Parisi
Italian physicist, professor at the University of Rome. In 2021, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research on complex systems.
His research interests are extensive, and his main contribution is to discover hidden laws in disordered systems, which has a groundbreaking significance for the theory of complex systems and has been extended to the field of biology, such as explaining the laws of collective flight of bird flocks. At the same time, his effective mathematical description method has profoundly influenced the development of neural networks, information optimization, machine learning, artificial intelligence and other fields in the 21st century.
