Unpredictable Science

Like any school of thought, Chaos Theory has been shaped from the historical database of past human knowledge. It is from the countless contributions that mankind has shared and past down over time that has allowed for new growth and the continuous evolution necessary for survival. The internet is now the conduit that makes this rapid exchange of knowledge possible. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that our overall understanding of life is growing at an exponential rate. Old school Western Science is being forced to loosen up their pride belts and embrace some of the Ancient Eastern “mysticism” that most modern scientists scoffed at over the last centuries. Much of the belief in Chaos Theory requires an open mind to other possibilities beyond the tight framework of science that has limited our expansion of knowledge. The picture of God throwing dice has scared scientists and prevented many from breaking free of the physical laws that bound us to earth. Now that we have mathematical systems to model chaos, we are able to see the beauty in chance that makes possible the unpredictable relationships needed for evolution to continue. The primitive notion that the universe is a cosmic clock winding down due to thermodynamics no longer holds. Rather than the watch-smith winding up the clock and sitting back, Chaos believes that this Strange Attractor is pulling all of life together as well as creating it along the way.
