About this episode
A narrative tour of percolation theory—from its coal-porosity origins to the 50% critical threshold in 2D lattices, and the bond vs. site percolation distinction. We explore how biophysicists apply these ideas to destabilize viral shells like Hepatitis B just below the threshold, and connect the math to everyday networks—your projects, ideas, and social circles—where a breakthrough can come from one extra connection.
