How many people does it take to start a Mexican wave (La Ola) at a stadium?
A group of researchers studied this in detail and, in fact, had a paper published in Nature, one of the most respected scientific journals.
So why would someone spend time, money and energy on this research? Well, the study can help understand how groups of excited people behave and how they can be controlled.
So you know, it’s all about keeps us down… LOL.
