‘chaos theory’.
Scientific thought took a new turn when Newton discovered that the laws which account for a
falling apple and those that describe the moon’s orbiting the Earth were one and the same. Ever
since he discovered and formulated the laws that govern motion in our universe, scientists have
assumed that the universe runs like a clock, explained by a few simple laws. Scientists described
what seemed plicated systems in terms paratively simple equations. They thought
that they could look at the world, figure out how it works, write an equation to describe it, then
plug in any numbers and be able to predict any e. Some scientists have thought that they
would eventually discover how to describe everything in the universe in
