Re: Chaos Theory
hmm purely mathematicly speaking, i dont agree that chaos theory and the uncertainty principle have anything to do with each other, from a more philosophical point, there of course is an overlap.
As for chaos theory: the basic idea is that most systems are so complex, and so highly sensitive to a small change in input, that effectively we lose all our predictive power. The standard example is the weather. If you take a weathermodel and give it some initial data, and you compare this to the same model, same data, but 1 parameter changed only a very tiny little bit, then for a while the 2 models give the same predictions, but after a while, there is no coherence whatsoever. From this comes the observence that "a butterfly in china can make a hurricane in amsterdam".
