Chaos
theory has always had a bad name, creating images in our heads of abnormal science. But there is a very interesting side to
Chaos. one in which, scientists are just beginning to understand what it means. Chaos theory is able to answer the question of how we got here. As well, The theory of
evolution which explains the diversity of life, not its origin.
BBC's Secret life of Chaos, takes a look into what chaos theory truly is. The theory that one thing relates to another, or as others call it the Butterfly Affect. Even though Edward Lorenz was the first to come up with the chaos theory, many people such as Alan Turing, Boris Belousov, and Beniot Mandelbrot had much impact on what we know today.
Alan Turing used a mathematical basis to understand biological and human intelligence. Morphogenesis a term he created described that all cells embryos are identical, but they become different upon creation. His idea of self organization showed the complexity of energies from simplicity. Committing suicide after having his work rejected showed how committed he was to his work. So begins the first ideas that came close to chaos theory.
Boris Belousov showed a real life example of Turing's self organization theory by mixing chemicals in a petri dish and let it be spinned. Gradually the colors changed from clear to dark and then back to clear again. This amazing discovery would be turned down by the mechanical universe. With this system, the Newtonian dream was shattered.
Edward Lorenz came out with the speech of the Butterfly affect, which would shock the world into awe. Beniot Mandelbrot realized that every aspect of our lives shows self similarity, As you look close and closer the original shape is repeated only as a fractal.
The fundamental ordering of the properties of chaos, would be able to predict anything. These simple rules to very complex systems would prove evolution and how man has came to be who he is today.
