Exploring Chaos Theory: From Niagara Falls to Science

My wife and I recently took a trip to Niagara Falls, staying on the Canadian side. I also just finished reading Chaos: Making a New Science, by James Gleick. As I looked at the falls and the rushing Niagara River, thinking about all of that turbulence enhanced the experience.

James Gleick’s Chaos: Making a New Science is a groundbreaking account of the emergence of chaos theory in the late 20th century. It traces how scientists in various fields began to recognize that deterministic systems could produce behavior so unpredictable that it appeared random—a profound shift in how we understand nature.
