Abstract This experiment involves a social dilemma‚ where participants had to choose whether or not to betray their partner. In 1950‚ while researching game theory‚ Flood & Dresher devised a model‚ that Albert Tucker later interpreted and named the Prisoners Dilemma. The participant receives a high reward of they betray their partner and their partner does not betray them‚ a medium reward if they and their partner both don’t betray each other‚ and no reward if they both betray each other. In Tuckers

These scientists were not restricted to the field of science alone. In fact‚ many were mathematicians‚ psychologists‚ philosophers‚ astronomers‚ etc. They also shared a common goal‚ to focus on explaining what is outside of earth‚ while leaving us with theories that affect people to this date.
