There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.

He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.

When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.

Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.

The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.

Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.

The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.

That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

@AdrianoAguzzi The same is true for remuneration and value addition. One of those one sided love-hate relationships I guess..

We mourn the loss of Mr. Ratan N Tata, whose visionary leadership helped shape the @BLiSC_India to what it is today.

His legacy will live on through the impact of the various institutions he helped create.

@TrumanLab Suggestion to start with Adobe illustrator for Scientists by Kevin Bonham followed by Making Scientific figures with Illustrator by Christopher Gutierrez. Both are free on YouTube. The first one gives the basics and second one is more steep and expert level.
Best of luck!!

@IndiGo6E Really helpful staff experience at Chennai airport. My delay but staff made sure to expedite the check-in and security so that I don't miss the flight. Special shout to Miss Manju and Lavanya at helpdesk.
Won't be late again but good to know that you have our backs!!
