Using Arrow’s Theorem to Investigate Dark Matter
One of the more intriguing social science results is Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, which typically is described as asserting that it is impossible to design a fair voting rule once there are three or more candidates. In fact, as described in this expository talk, Arrow's result has a different, much deeper meaning; an interpretation that identifies unexpected sources of difficulties for so many topics -- including the compelling "dark matter" mystery from astronomy.
