The Science and Psychology of the Chaos Theory

[theblackopslegend1]

I told my teacher that i believed human actions were caused by there past, all actions are reactions. as in where the action that your doing right now is caused by some event in your past, so its like a chain (this is the EXTREMELY simple version of it, also i believe this in life as well). also im thinking that if this is true, there should be an original spark. he replied saying that i could be thinking of the chaos theory.

[daikiryoku]

Chaos theory is all about putting rhyme and reason to choice and consequence, it should be classified as a religion rather than a science. The fact that a small initial change makes a big difference in the end is f***ing obvious. Out galaxy is flying away from the center of the universe at an incredible speed - image how different our position in the universe we would be in if we (as a galaxy) were set out a few degrees different initially as a trajectory (not that it would change anything).

[RATPT0I]

@daikiryoku

It would change everything, actually.

check out the blonde dolly bird ...only on the program on account of her looks

[imasticker]

im so fucking baked right now...

[Skarnusur]

@imasticker yessss. Fucking high fives.

[DXfanization]

I think that the chaos theory is a load of BS.

[themermaidgirl247]

To make it simpler: one event creates a chain of unpredictable events. Say someone invents a chocolate bar. It is impossible to predict whether or not people will eat it, and if they like it. You van find out if they did like the chocolate bar, but you couldn't predict it before you find out. One more thing, how did I understand this and interpret it to make it simple?

[MyRealPolitik]

This is such a great video

[SarahStarmer]

Every one should know about chaos.

[DaSpaceJammer]

soooooooooo confusing

[BarryDong]

@DaSpaceJammer Not really.

[celestemekent]

The question I must ask is there are real order anywhere, or is what appears to be under control merely temporary.

[TotalGameMaster]

now wat about the theory of time travel I mean if we could time travel then we could predict everything..... (brain explodes)

[burke98926]

so my question would be, is the complex, and rather violent atmospheric conditions of other planets such as Saturn caused by say to many asteroids creating said Chaos in the planets atmosphere??

[rockersamurai]

buddhism anyone?

[UseAsDirected100]

@singenera Yes, you are correct, there is very little educational work done about it, though scientists claim its impact has been as strong as that of quantum mechanics and relativity. I am writing my master's thesis on student [mis]conceptions of nonlinear systems [hope to one day research its education value].

[sysop3]

Is this clip from a documentary? If so which?

[djazr]

I find it ironic that the lady's name is constance and they're talking about chaos

[theflorgeormix]

so why would someone say something negative about another...for their own good ??? possibly, in that its not what was said, but just the fact that your being gets attention

[darkwhitedirewolf]

I love it when a professor says shit happens as an analysis.

[Calsummersishere]

chaos was the law of nature; order was the dream of man.......henry brooks adams

[harveyshideout]

i wish she would sit in the middle of her chair lol

[blizzard4775]

ordo ab chao. nothing is unpredictable

[ronburgendey]

i like the bolonde milf especially when she said shit happens, id tap that shit.

[Xxd3cayxX]

@ronburgendey Haha that is hot when she says that, I bet she's a freak in bed lol

[LynnColorado]

Enlightening. Thank you.

[Matier2064]

How do you spell the concept that John talks about at 7:55? It starts with a s or something. Thanks

[jlme123]

@Matier2064 spontaneity?

[natashayb]

@Matier2064 spontaneity

[wastexxxaway]

On point... I have never believed in anything else.

[timmyrules1111]

Very good explanation. Thanks a bunch.

[Cranxa]

I watched a whole documentary.

(not this one)

and i was so glad most of my questions were answered.

4 in the morning on a school night.

hahaha

[Bantam486]

@Cranxa What is the name of the documentary, I´d be very interessted in.

Thanks!

[Cranxa]

Hey im sorry i really cant remember =/

It was called 'The science of Chaos' if i remember correctly and was on a free-veiw channel.

I hope that helps in any way.

Sorry for a poor description.

doesnt really narrow it down.

[SHIBBYiPANDA]

@Cranxa what documentary?

[ralfytm]

@Cranxa hi, can you please say the name of the documentary so i can watch it to, thanks :)

[illtakeit1]

@Cranxa I do that all the time its worth sounding smarter the next day

[diananeiderhiser26]

This is an excellent video that explains it well in simple terms. Chaos Theory and butterfly effect can cause a chain of events. I love earth science. This is fascinating stuff. Thanks for sharing. -Author Diana Neiderhiser.

[fibbsabaddy]

So how do you get more in the moment then? Meditation?

[Turncog]

Quite simply, you don't.

[fibbsabaddy]

then why do so many people swear by it

[Turncog]

because they have no way of knowing when they are. they have nothing to compare it to.

[fibbsabaddy]

What about objective reality? They have that to compare it to do they not? I say dont knock it till youve tried it.

[cacaolover1]

meditation is possible - it something you practice by exercising ever present awareness. I would read or look at Ken Wilbers material for an excellent description of what meditation is and why it is done!

4:13

did she jus say wut i think she sed

[thelegendarypaki]

Yes. She actually said the S word.

[thelegendarypaki]

But again, maybe she is being chaotic.

[khonsuankh]

What video is this and where can I get the rest of it

[MetalManiac257]

Hey I got this video on the "bonus features" of the DVD movie 'butterfly effect' with ashton kutcher. There isn't anymore unfortuneatly.

[xxxphunky]

see what happens when you smoke pot in college? your stuck there. you'll be overly fascinated of a desk ornament/toy.
