Chaos Theory

[Shared Joy]

Hi,
many things have been discussed about chaos and order on this forum. I thought that it might be a good thing to emphasize their importance on a laymen level.

Our reality shows increasing signs of chaos, and the C's transmission emphasize it.

I found this documentary which could be a starting point for dealing with the beginning of these ideas in modern science. The ideas of : beauty, simplicity, organisation of complex systems, the butterfly effect, fractals, computer algorithms, mathematics are discussed. Not in an all-encompassing manner, but for starters could be acceptable.

The Secret Life of Chaos - BBC Documentary
Published on May 16, 2015
Chaos theory has a bad name, conjuring up images of unpredictable weather, economic crashes and science gone wrong. But there is a fascinating and hidden side to Chaos, one that scientists are only now beginning to understand.

It turns out that chaos theory answers a question that mankind has asked for millennia - how did we get here?

In this documentary, Professor Jim Al-Khalili sets out to uncover one of the great mysteries of science - how does a universe that starts off as dust end up with intelligent life? How does order emerge from disorder?

It's a mindbending, counterintuitive and for many people a deeply troubling idea. But Professor Al-Khalili reveals the science behind much of beauty and structure in the natural world and discovers that far from it being magic or an act of God, it is in fact an intrinsic part of the laws of physics. Amazingly, it turns out that the mathematics of chaos can explain how and why the universe creates exquisite order and pattern.

And the best thing is that one doesn't need to be a scientist to understand it. The natural world is full of awe-inspiring examples of the way nature transforms simplicity into complexity. From trees to clouds to humans - after watching this film you'll never be able to look at the world in the same way again.

The C's once said that "mathematics is the single universal language". Some of it it illustrated here.

Just my 2 cents

Thanks for sharing, Shared Joy, these videos have been informative for me, a lot of ideas and thoughts that I found myself in these videos, I think it could be the start for further investigation.

Hi,

there's is this interesting documentary about mathematics...as I remembered again that according to the C's this is the single universal language:

Some of you have an interest in exact science, so I hope you'll enjoy it. Anyway, it is explained at an accessible level.
It describes the underlying order of the world, the way phenomena are evolving, the way all organism are mathematically "constructed".

They said: math is our physical reality and our world not only has some mathematical properties, but has only mathematical properties...and offered examples from all walks of life.

Elegance and simplicity in explaining complex phenomenon - just some constants, equations. Pythagoras' explanation of the parallel between music and mathematics. Animals can distinguish quantities (at least my German shepherd always "counted us" and when somebody disappeared, he went into a search and led him back to the group).

And in the world of subatomic particles, many times these were predicted to exist by math calculus (Higg's boson, etc).

Of course, some phenomena isn't easy to model (psychological, weather, social) or nearly unpredictable, especially when nearing chaos...

Who knows what will be able to know from now on if our awareness will expand? I'm not sure I could write an equation of an intuition.
