ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Econophysics

Econophysics is an area of science that combines ideas from physics, like the laws of motion, with economics, like how people buy and sell things. It tries to explain why economic systems work and change the way they do. It's like looking at an economic system like you would look at a physical system, like a bicycle or car. We can use the ideas from physical systems to help explain and predict how economic systems work.
