Tipping Points in Opinion Dynamics: A Universal Formula in Five Dimensions

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2020
A universal formula is shown to predict the dynamics of public opinion including eventual sudden and unexpected outbreaks of minority opinions within a generic parameter space of five dimensions. The formula is obtained by combining and extending several
