    WHERE CHAOS BEGINS, classical science stops
  • Yulia Yurchakhas quotedlast year
    you can always try to solve a problem by proving that no solution exists
  • Yulia Yurchakhas quotedlast year
    any physical system that behaved nonperiodically would be unpredictable
  • Yulia Yurchakhas quotedlast year
    In science as in life, it is well known that a chain of events can have a point of crisis that could magnify small changes. But chaos meant that such points were everywhere
  • Yulia Yurchakhas quotedlast year
    Chaos has become not just theory but also method, not just a canon of beliefs but also a way of doing science
  • Yulia Yurchakhas quotedlast year
    A chaotic system could be stable if its particular brand of irregularity persisted in the face of small disturbances.
  • Yulia Yurchakhas quotedlast year
    It was locally unpredictable, globally stable
  • Yulia Yurchakhas quotedlast year
    If the repeating behavior is stable, as in a pendulum clock, then the system returns to this orbit after small perturbations
