Where chaos begins, classical science stops. For as long as the world has had physicists inquiring into the laws of nature, it has suffered a special ignorance about disorder in the atmosphere, in the fluctuations of the wildlife populations, in the oscillations of the heart and the brain. The irregular side of nature, the discontinuous and erratic side -- these have been puzzles to science, or worse, monstrosities.
I find this subject fascinating... I do believe that the universe is fundamentally chaotic but the really cool thing to me is that once systems reach a certain complexity they create a roadblock to the naturally occuring entrpy of the universe. Its a little (ok, a lot) over my head, but I do know just enough to get myself in trouble.
