When considering how things connect together in a network, time can be an extremely important factor. Dr Richard G Clegg of Queen Mary University London takes us through networks using Page rank and Lord of the Rings. nb. this film contains two fellas getting the facts of Lord of the Rings wrong on multiple occasions, we look forward to the inevitable comments.
