Description

This article provides an overview of the sociophysics gravitational model, tracing its origins back to Newtonian principles and emphasizing the significant contribution of physics to our understanding of the social sciences. Subsequently, it explores the application of gravity within the spatial dimension, emphasizing its relevance within this context. The study encompasses contemporary applications in various fields, including economics and migration studies. Additionally, it specifically addresses the interpretation of both tangible and intangible flows through the lens of gravitational application. This examination highlights the interdisciplinary potential of sociophysics in unraveling intricate social systems, demonstrating how physics sheds light on complex social phenomena. In conclusion, it evaluates the recent emergence of intangible goods and their roles within markets and services, underscoring the evolving dynamics of economic systems.
