Question 9

What is chaos theory?

Answer 9

● “Chaos” in a technical (scientific) sense is different from what we usually assume it means. In colloquial use it typically means pure randomness. In science, chaos still has attributes of pattern and repeated actions, it just accounts for the unpredictability of our environments.
● Chaos theory says that there are minor elements (noises) that, although seemingly small and insignificant, can rapidly snowball into generating a completely different outcome (Butterfly effect).
