Collective Motion of Moshers at Heavy Metal Concerts
Human collective behavior can vary from calm to panicked depending on social context. Using videos publicly available online, we study the highly energized collective motion of attendees at heavy metal concerts. We find these extreme social gatherings generate similarly extreme behaviors: a disordered gas-like state called a mosh pit and an ordered vortex-like state called a circle pit. Both phenomena are reproduced in flocking simulations demonstrating that human collective behavior is consistent with the predictions of simplified models.

Something completely different ...

In case you didn't know I'm an exercise physiologist and a former competitive distance runner - now I'm just an occasional, or maybe just an accidental runner ;-)
Anyway, I gave a speach in Marathon Sport about what and when to eat before a marathon run. That's where I work part time beside teaching physioterapeuts and there's an article in the national newspaper Politiken about that. It's in danish, but anyway here you go ...

Cosmotron - Heavy Italian Stonerstuff

Fuck yes, this is extremely heavy stoner-stuff with a deadly heavy fuzz zound. Supersonic shit for your sorry ears. Ohhh well, my tinnitus is damned loud these days. The other day I could not hear that the air conditioning was on when I was lecturing. And yes, I do teach human physiology if you wonder what the fuck I'm talking about.
