Abstract:
Knowledge explosion is making our scientific life very
stressful and it is increasingly difficulty to make interdisciplinary
discoveries due to the rapid accumulation of knowledge in each
discipline. We try to argue the mathematical analysis of dense networks
could provide means to find similarities of knowledge in different fields.
