Video: The Secret Life Of Chaos Theory
Chaos theory has a bad name, conjuring up images of unpredictable weather, economic crashes and science gone wrong. But there is a fascinating and hidden side to Chaos, one that scientists are only now beginning to understand.
It turns out that chaos theory answers a question that mankind has asked for millennia – how did we get here? In this documentary, Professor Jim Al-Khalili sets out to uncover one of the great mysteries of science – how does a universe that starts off as dust end up with intelligent life? How does order emerge from disorder? It’s a mindbending, counterintuitive and for many people a deeply troubling idea.

But Professor Al-Khalili reveals the science behind much of beauty and structure in the natural world and discovers that far from it being magic or an act of God, it is in fact an intrinsic part of the laws of physics. Amazingly, it turns out that the mathematics of chaos can explain how and why the universe creates exquisite order and pattern.
And the best thing is that one doesn’t need to be a scientist to understand it. The natural world is full of awe-inspiring examples of the way nature transforms simplicity into complexity. From trees to clouds to humans – after watching this film you’ll never be able to look at the world in the same way again.

I like to watch things like this for the humor. But, the music was too weird. I only lasted about 6 minutes.
Sometimes the pseudoscience is just too stupid to be good comedy.

Some people are just to stupid to understand good science.

Exactly Herb, as in not knowing the difference between “to” and “too”.
Or how to spell “matter”.
Or how a thermometer works.
“Stupid is a stupid does”, as the adage goes.

You believe science is in having the answer you were taught was right. Science is about the questions of why and how. So you concentrate on spelling, the music, and grammar but have no idea what it is all about.

Wrong Herb. “Science” is demonstrable, quantifiable, predictive, repeatable, verifiable and falsifiable. Science can be learned. But you apparently can’t learn. That’s why you have so little respect for education and must resort to insults.

Science can be pokiing it with a stick and seeing what happens.
If your laboratory blows to smithereens then get a longer stick or a remote stick poking mechanism to check for replication and once you can qualify and quantify replicable outcomes it is then up to inviting others to poking it with a stick
to test if they too can wear a laboratory around their ears to validate.
Of course, clear and comprehendible communication to explain how and why can be more important than the original observation itself.
And further, personal abuse in relation to inadequate communication means those with the most to contribute will only do so where their insights/observations are challenged on their merits rather than their personalty being slagged off.
Politics of personality rather than politics of substance leads to a stagnant anaerobic environment.
Has anyone a laboratory I can borrow? I have found another stick.

I tried watching it and the sound track was way too loud.
Whomever the sound engineer was, he needs some training.
I quit watching after the background sound drove me to quit.
Also it was to dramatic for me. Just my own opinion.
