For new doctoral students, there were no mentors in chaos theory, no jobs, no journals devoted to chaos theory. Precisely because chaos was popping up all over, with just a few people in each of many different scientific fields, it was easy for scientists in any field to notice a paper or presentation, note the fact that is was completely different from the methods, logic, math that had relevance for their own work, that much of the work was in fact being done in other fields-and dismiss it. In each field, also, the initial work was most often either resisted or ignored. Reach the tipping point, and there it is. Mitchell Feigenbaum, a theoretical physicist at Los Alamos in the early seventies, and two other scientists working together independently of him, are working on the problem of turbulence and.

Shelves: popular-science, non-fiction, favorites This book, over two decades old now, is one of the great classics of science popularization. There, Feynman turned theory into practice, culminating in the Trinity test, on July 16,when the Atomic Age was born. Along the way, Gleick profiles key innovators, including Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Samuel Morse, and Claude Shannon, and reveals how our understanding of information is transforming not only how we look at the world, but how we live.
During the years he was an irascible presence at Trinity College, Cambridge, Newton imagined properties of nature and gave them names-mass, gravity, velocity-things our science now takes for granted. Er bietet dem Leser neue Einblicke in die Mechanismen des Informationsaustausches. Kazragar New Cas Times Bestseller: Er stellt caow bekannten und unbekannten Pioniere der Informationsgesellschaft vor: Raised in Depression-era Rockaway Beach, physicist Richard Feynman was irreverent, eccentric, and childishly enthusiastic-a new kind of scientist in a field that was in its infancy.
