"You believe in a God who plays dice, and I in complete law and
order", Albert Einstein. The science of chaos is forcing scientists
to rethink Einstein's fundamental assumptions regarding the way the
universe behaves. Chaos theory has already shown that simple
systems, obeying precise laws, can nevertheless act in a random
manner. Perhaps God plays dice within a cosmic game of complete law
and order. "Does God Play Dice?" reveals a strange universe in
which nothing may be as it seems. Familiar geometrical shapes such
as circles and ellipses give way to infinitely complex structures
known as fractals, the fluttering of a butterfly's wings can change
the weather, and the gravitational attraction of a creature in a
distant galaxy can change the fate of the solar system. This
revised and updated edition includes three completely new chapters
on the prediction and control of chaotic systems. It also
incorporates new information regarding the solar system and an
account of complexity theory. This text aims to make the complex
mathematics of chaos accessible and entertaining.
