Chaos

What makes the weather so unpredictable and volatile? Why do epidemics come and go without any discernible pattern and why do social systems, like the Stock Exchange, suffer catastrophic collapses? Could these phenomena ever be predicted? The answer may lie in an exciting mathematical theory - the CHAOS theory - put forward by an intrepid group of mathematicians and physicists. CHAOS provides clues to the way in which the universe can seem both ordered and disordered at the same time. This video describes the constituent segments of the CHAOS theory and its practical applications in the real world. -- Cassette container.

  • ""Traditionally science has been focused on seeking out and defining the predictable laws that govern all our lives. Chaos is about using the immense number crunching power of super computers to seek out the patterns hidden away in what up till now has been totally unpredicatable"--Container."
  • "A discussion of a new scientific theory, formed with the help of computers, which proposes the possibility of patterns and order in the chaos and unpredictability of both nature and also human aspects of the world."
  • "Introduces the new science of chaos; scientific laws and principles which involve a fundamentally different way of seeing dynamic inherently unstable systems both physical (e.g. the weather) and human (e.g. the economy). Interviews, commentary and visuals (including computer graphics) are interwoven to explore some of the implications of such new concepts as the butterfly effect, strange attractors, period doubling, the Mandlebrot set and fractal geometry."@en
