World Cup in Brazil: Stephen Hawking Comes up With Tournament Formula; Will it Work?
World renowned British theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking has come up with a formula that could help Britain's team win the 2014 FIFA World Cup soccer tournament.
Hawking was commissioned by a betting company to examine and evaluate data from every World Cup that England had qualified for, since they won the tournament in 1966. England must also have a 4-3-3 formation.
Hawking came up with two formulas, the first one is based on a cornucopia of details from conditions to the environment to politics. And the second formula is based on goal kicks: Hawking suggests that the soccer players kick the ball from the upper or left goal corner, with an "84 percent of penalties thrown from there." Hawking adds that you have to place it well, El Dínamo reported.
The first formula is what we will discuss. It is based on many variables that include weather and temperature conditions: one has to compare and contrast the estimated and predicted temperature, as well as the altitude, and the distance from home.
Also included in this formula is the psychological aspect; politics; nationality; and what they wear: Hawking suggests that Britain's soccer team wear red because it makes them appear "more aggressive and dominant," El Dínamo reported.
Hawking's further conclusion was that Roy Hodgson's team has the best chance of winning against Brazil, but do not bet all of your monthly salary just yet. Hawking contends however that Brazil should not be overlooked, according to him, statistically host countries have won over 30 percent of the World Cups, the Huffington Post reported.
Hawking concluded that soccer is more "hugely complicated" than quantum physics, which is more straightforward, the Huffington Post reported.
