Sinopsis

How do scientists look at chance, or randomness, and chaos in physical systems? In this study, David Ruelle explores game theory, probability, classical chaos and quantum uncertainty among many other topics. Since many systems are highly sensitive to initial conditions, the consequences of tiny exchanges in the variables can be enormous. Ruelle applies this insight to the understanding of turbulence, "strange attractors", entropy, black holes, information and intelligence.
