Question - 174

The second and third visuals deal with widely different phenomena (in completely different fields) but are both named after the first visual. Identify the name and the reasoning behind it.

Answer: The phenomenon is named after Goldilocks of Goldilocks and the three bears story (first visual). The Goldilocks zone in astronomy is the zone where it is neither too hot nor too cold ("just right" like in the story). A Goldilocks economy is one that does not face the threat of inflation or recession (again "just right"). Iam, Adi, Mekie, Sriraam, Hirak, Schmetterling, Swapnaa, Rajeev and two anons got it. Well done.

Goldilocks phenonomena: just right conditions for

a) habitable zones, eg Earth, and
b) economies that have low inflation and moderate growth respond well to market policies.

Fig 1: Goldilocks sleeping on the baby bear's "just right" bed.

Fig 2: Goldilocks Zone- the habitable zone in space that is neither too hot nor too cold, but 'just right'.

Fig 3: Goldilocks Economy- the "just right" economy that is neither too hot with inflation nor too cold with unemployement, an economy sustained by moderate growth and low inflation.
