Un modelo matemático que da mucho juego
La paradoja de Parrondo: perder + perder =ganar(Spanish)
The
paradox of Parrondo: to lose + to lose = to win (Bad English
translation) |
Juan Manuel Rodriguez
Parrondo, titular professor of the Department of Atomic, Molecular
and Nuclear Physics of the Faculty of Physical Sciences, has
devised two simple mathematical games of chance that are interesting
to experts in very diverse areas of science. Their results are
surprising in statistical terms, to play anyone of the two separately
supposes to lose. However, if the player alternates both, in
certain or random combinations, it wins. An effect that in articles
specialised already is known like "the Parrondo’s Paradox".

life always deals you a bad hand, take heart. Some games that
you're guaranteed to lose produce surprises if played together,

There are times in
which two bad followed results can give rise one good one: it
says the paradox to it of Parrondo. Juan Manuel Rodriguez Parrondo,
of 36 years, physicist, professor of the Complutensian University
of Madrid, has created two games of chance that more and more
intrigue peculiar engineers, mathematicians, biologists and
in general.

Two games of chance,
each guaranteed to give a player a predominance of losses in
the long term, can add up to a winning outcome if the player
alternates between the two games.

A Spanish physicist
has discovered what appears to be a new law of nature that may
help explain, among other things, how life arose out of a primordial
soup, why President Clinton´s popularity rose after he
was caught in a sex scandal, and why investing in losing stocks
can sometimes lead to greater capital gains.

Try your chance with
a game of chance. Generally, you lose. Play two games of chance,
alternatively and in a random way: surprised, you gain! This
paradox lights the apparently chaotic mechanisms, and yet oiled
well, of the cells or proteins.

Although the odds
are stacked against you at both roulette and blackjack there's
a sure way to win -- play two games of one, and then shift to
the other for two games and then shift back again.

Parrondo's paradox
shows that you can win at two losing games by switching between
them. The result has surprising implications for the origins
of life.
