The scientific way of thinking in statistics, statistical physics and quantum mechanics
This paper focuses on the way of thinking in both classical and modern Physics and Statistics, Statistical Mechanics or Statistical Physics and Quantum Mechanics. These different statistical ways of thinking and their specific methods have generated new fields for new activities and new scientific disciplines, like Econophysics (between Economics and Physics), Sociophysics (between Sociology and Physics), Mediaphysics (between all media and comunication sciences), etc. After describing some recent definitions of statistical thinking, implications of statistical education for developing Econophysics, Sociophysics, Mediaphysics, etc. from Statistical and Quantum Mechanics are discussed. Several opinions are given as a direct liaison between the classical and modern statistical sciences and thoughts of a scientific research in general. The main conclusion is that Statistics developing habits of mind for Statistical Physics in Econophysics, for the Quantum Mechanics in Quantum Physics, for the Sociology in Sociophysics will be essential for the future of all.Statistics, Statistical Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Econophysics, Sociophysics
The time evaluation of resistance probability of a closed community against to occupation in a Sznajd like model with synchronous updating: A numerical study
In the present paper, we have briefly reviewed Sznajd's sociophysics model
and its variants, and also we have proposed a simple Sznajd like sociophysics
model based on Ising spin system in order to explain the time evaluation of
resistance probability of a closed community against to occupation. Using a
numerical method, we have shown that time evaluation of resistance probability
of community has a non-exponential character which decays as stretched
exponential independent the number of soldiers in one dimensional model.
Furthermore, it has been astonishingly found that our simple sociophysics model
is belong to the same universality class with random walk process on the
trapping space.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures. Added a paragraph and 1 figure. To be published

A Biased Review of Sociophysics
Various aspects of recent sociophysics research are shortly reviewed:
Schelling model as an example for lack of interdisciplinary cooperation,
opinion dynamics, combat, and citation statistics as an example for strong
interdisciplinarity.Comment: 16 pages for J. Stat. Phys. including 2 figures and numerous
