Order Versus Chaos. There’s some circumstantial evidence in favor of mathematical chaos. For one thing, despite many decades of work, mathematicians’ progress on the Ultimate L program has been slow.

A branch of math called chaos theory looks at how small changes to a system can result in unpredictable behavior. Chaos theory explains how complex systems work in multiple fields, including ...

Researchers are using chaos theory to 3D-print stunning pieces of jewelry. As Einstein himself said, "The greatest scientists are always artists as well." What Is the Butterfly Effect?

Not that we are going to do any math, but I am going to describe what is says and why, in very nontechnical ways. In fact the math has a nontechnical name, which is “chaos”. Its technical name is ...

The butterfly effect “disrupted science at a philosophical level, showing that modeling the future is only predictable to an extent, and that ‘chaos,’ as Lorenz put it, is always present but ...
