Normally, you won’t compare a business with the concepts of Gravity, General relativity, etc. But then Physics has always turned me on since childhood. So, when I came across this video, I found it a really interesting watch. As I was watching, I could not help thinking how similar Gravity works to the way we human beings and our world of business work.
Here’s the video:
Check the comparison below. Isn’t it interesting to realise that the world almost follows the same general rules at whatever level we look at?
| Gravity | Business Analogy |
| Matter bends space-time which attracts others and makes them go merry-go-round. Bigger the matter, more the bend. | Business Influencers/Disruptors |
| When matters move in all directions in space-time; some gets eliminated soon and the survivors follow a preferred direction. | 9 out of 10 start-ups fail. The survivor follows tested route. |
| Sometimes in space-time, one matter in motion ties the others in a system to orbit round it. | Clustering and affiliation |
| When there are two big matters in space-time, other matters follow a trajectory between the two. | Competition |
| Dark energies distort space-time and makes matter go apart. | Market forces |
