A bold, visionary, and mind-bending exploration of how the geometry
of chaos can explain our uncertain world—from weather and
pandemics to quantum physics and free will Covering a breathtaking
range of topics—from climate change to the foundations of quantum
physics, from economic modelling to conflict prediction, from free
will to consciousness and spirituality—The Primacy of Doubt takes
us on a unique journey through the science of uncertainty. A key
theme that unifies these seemingly unconnected topics is the
geometry of chaos: the beautiful and profound fractal structures
that lie at the heart of much of modern mathematics. Royal Society
Research Professor Tim Palmer shows us how the geometry of chaos
not only provides the means to predict the world around us, it
suggests new insights into some of the most astonishing aspects of
our universe and ourselves. This important and timely book helps
the reader makes sense of uncertainty in a rapidly changing world.
