Chaos theory describes complex nonlinear dynamics of
sensitive systems and is based on the principals of the butterfly effect,
Unpredictability, fractals, mixing, feedback, chaos and order. Chaos is more
evident, and used to understand long-term systems that are mathematically
deterministic but impossible or nearly impossible to predict. The complex phenomenon associated with
chaos is described by fractal mathematics, which captures the infinite
complexity of nature. Many systems in the natural world can be understood to
have fractal properties. Without chaos theory a forest, lake, or clouds for
example which all exhibit complex, chaotic behavior would only be partially
understood.
Fractals are infinitely complex never-ending patterns that are
self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating similar
processes over and over in a feedback loop. Fractals can be observed in the
natural environment- by observing
cloud patterns, flowers, shells, etc.. Understanding fractals gives us in
Recognizing the chaotic, fractal nature of our world can deepen
our consciousness into how complex systems such as the body function, become
ill and heal. In Chinese Medicine has historically applied the ideas of
fractals, scaling and micro systems to support the body’s ability heal.
“Cool Experiment”
I choose to try out the 2 Ball Experiment. I grabbed a
tennis ball and doggie toy ball that was slightly heavier and larger in mass. I
dropped the two balls together, the slightly heavier one underneath the tennis
ball. The balls separated as expected. Then the doggie ball hit the ground,
rebounded and hit the tennis ball. The tennis ball went flying and the doggie
ball fell back down. I observed that the energy of the doggie ball was
transferred to the springy tennis ball.
This last week I was also in an auto accident. During the
accident a car sped through a red light and hit the car that I was in on the
rear passenger side. The car that I was in spun around approximately 540
degress absorbing the energy of the impact, while the other car only moved
about 40 feet from the initial site of impact.
