Book Description
The concept of chaos has brought a revolution to modern science. In place of their once confident pretensions to complete knowledge of the universe–at least theoretically–scientists have been forced by chaos to admit that there are situations that do not admit of complete predictability, even above the quantum scale of events, where uncertainty is so powerful. Parker begins with a lucid explanation of chaos and its roots in past science and mathematics, then proceeds to how chaos affects modern astronomy. The structure of the rings of Saturn, the orbits of the asteroids, even the gross configuration of the galaxies and the universe itself are all cryptic and enigmatic, but chaos helps to explain them. Parker illuminates these developments in all their exquisite details.
