I was immersed in Asimov and Herbert and the like. Anonymous 25 June 2008 at 9:00 pm. If anyone is interested, James Gleick's 'Chaos-Making a new science' Penguin books. Chaos: Making a New Science – Part 1, posted with vodpod. I recently finished re-reading Chaos: Making a New Science by James Gleick which recounts the development of the new cross-disciplinary study of Chaos Theory. Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan (1996) “The Demon-Haunted World: Science As A Candle In The Dark”. Chapter 3 of James Gleick's book on chaos (Chaos - Making a New Science, 1987, [1]) discusses how very simple equations can exhibit chaotic behavior when particular parameters are manipulated. Last year, researchers at our London Research Institute published what became – after the discovery of the Higgs boson – the second most-referenced science paper of 2012. Gleick here adventurously attempts to describe the revolutionary science of "chaos," a challengingly abstract new look at nature in terms of nonlinear dynamics. Their study looked at If we imagine DNA replication to be like the construction of a new building, then replication stress is like the builders running out of bricks, or starting building before the foundations are properly laid – the building is much more likely to collapse. Only a few people are awake, and they live in a state of constant, total amazement. Covers the history, beginning with Edward Lorenz. Perhaps science will never again propose anything as presumptious as a "clockwork universe," but it continues to strive toward that goal, unreachable as it may be. Fractals, which have been identified in natural science in the mapping of the microvascular system and snow flake geometry, are recurring patterns within larger systems that are self-similar, that is, a shape appears similar at all scales of magnification. Finally, from a chaotic perspective the confluence of interactions both within and between individuals is highly variable and the system is sensitive to initial conditions making prediction of such complex interactions virtually impossible. €�Chaos: Making a New Science. I'll be looking for more of your posts Mr. Looking back, I suspect I picked that concept up from the classic science fiction my father was giving me to read.
