- vhold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Don't you get it? It's called "chaotic spelling." What at first appears to be a simple typo is in fact a system of quasi deliberate transposed letters which will eventually lead to a whole new understanding of something.
- Killoz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Interesting Chaos THEROY.....
- sxtxixtxcxh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1a butterfly flaps it's wings in china: a digg user spells something wrong.
simple enough. - Tyrel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh boy, I love theroys!
- AtomSmasher5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1mhh sorry, typo, don't see a "edit" link tho
- acidzebra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ps. AntiHexe: If you are going to slag off another user's spelling be sure to spell ATROCIOUS right.
- chriskelley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"I didnt even read one word of this"
um... congratulations?
Interesting read, thx for posting. - MicahC, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Spell check the headline.
- crunk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Digg is getting bad when several stories with bad spelling can get onto the front page, we need a new problem option "Bad Spelling / Grammar"
- aliensporebomb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I thought this was an article on Charlize Theron but the spelling was so bad
it was hard to tell. - anastrophe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1diggiots.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The spelling errors have been getting much worse, and will continue to decline.
Get over it, because digg is too popular to be to the standards it use to be/we want it to be. - synd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1What the ***** is up with Digg front page articles and bad English?
- fillllll, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0at least I got chicken
- stalgia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anyone remember Jurassic Park and Goldblum's job as a chaotician. well he explains it well in the movie I thought: http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/766/jp117lm.jpg
On snap http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9564/vlcsnap13227607lm.jpg - fanboydcs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think of jurrasic park
- prthealien, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Really cool.
- heymark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Diggiot.
I digg it. - Battlecry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^^ I didn't understand anything in the comment above.
- Huwawa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nothing is ever random. Everything has a cause.
- soda0289, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0All he did was search Chaos Theory on google and its the first thing.
Why dont u use Wikipedia it just as good, but google spell checks. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Random cannot truely exist, though I have always pondered about the radioactive decay of a isotope as many other scientists and philosophers.
Interesting read, but not a digg. - burke, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3"Theroy Jenkins."
Now that was funny. - mwace, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You guys are all a bunch of grammer nazis.
Great find Nelson, while there may be technicalities or other improper things in this article that you guys bitch about, I found the read realiativly painless (Vs other stuff I've tried to read regarding Chaos), and informative of some of the fundemetal concepts of chaos theory. - pheonix2og, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ozmm: I came here to post the same exact comment. lol, nice one.
No digg until you edit your headline.
I HATE the "Magic Genie."
"Upon entering a comment a magical genie appears before you. Do you:
a) Attack with comment SPAM
b) Wait a few mins for others to comment
You choose b." - Flood_of_SYN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It wasn't until computers came that humans fully understood Chaos Theory. (IT Joke)
- jeolmeun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Is anything really random?
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think it is PHI, as is sprite lightening, blood veins, and tree branches. A seemingly random number but truly just an irrational one.
- StarManta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0WaterDragon, even if a crashing boulder is much more impactful than a butterfly, 1 minus 0.00001 is never 1.
Did you even RTFA? - Opiate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Aren't we all socialist/atheist here? All these divine numbers that aren't base 10! lies all lies!
- r00t3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If butterfly wings can cause tornados, what happens when I fart?
Butterfly genocide. - Miketrav, on 03/26/2009, -0/+0We are a group that is challenging the current paradigm in physics which is Quantum Mechanics and String Theory. There is a new Theory of Everything Breakthrough. It exposes the flaws in both Quantum Theory and String Theory. Please Help us set the physics community back on the right course and prove that Einstein was right! Visit our site The Theory of Super Relativity: http://www.superrelativity.org
- pkrumins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have chaos theory in maths the next term!!!
- Flankk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"The Koch curve brings up an interesting paradox. Each time new triangles are added to the figure, the length of the line gets longer. However, the inner area of the Koch curve remains less than the area of a circle drawn around the original triangle. Essentially, it is a line of infinite length surrounding a finite area."
This is total hogwash. As you zoom the fractcal, the length of the line will of course increase, but only by hundreds to thousands of significant digits. The fraction of length that is added to the perimeter will decrease exponentially, approaching zero but never reaching. In turn, the length of the line will gradually increase in length, but only approaching a number, which would be absolute accuracy but never reaching.
This is not a paradox. - zubov, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Digg is getting bad when several stories with bad spelling can get onto the front page, we need a new problem option "Bad Spelling / Grammar"
Yes!! Please!! - Walmentheman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Spliter cell?
- acidzebra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No Digg from the Spelling Nazis, although I always wondered about those Theroys.
- eyesofapollo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0forgive my spelling, i was being interrupted at work and i saw a few typos after i had already posted.
- eyesofapollo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0To clear things up for those of the readers who are unfamiliar with the Chaos Theory. The Chaos theory is simply the idea that in nature, things are not balanced. The ratio of 1 to 1 is not seen in the nature we live in. To understand this more, research PHI or Divine Proportion which is the idea that in all that exists, the ratio of 1 to 1.618 exists. This is the chaos theory. Some how things exist and in all scientific traces, the pattern of divine proportion is seen, even down to the smallest calculation such as numbers, to things as large as the universe. If you measure the length of your arm from your shoulder to your wrist, it is directly proportionate to the length of your elbow to your wrist in the ration of 1.618 to 1. The length of your whole are is 1.618 the distance from your elbow to your wrist. This is seen as well in your legs, fingers and toes. Common places we see this in the nature world other then human existence if in the curvature of the spiral in a snall's shell. The diameter of the spiral opens at the ratio of 1.618. I hope this information has helped everyone to understand that which they didn't see.
- Rajio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This post has chaos spelling.
- DWatch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0U speel stoopidly, submittur
- babylonian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Damnit, as soon as I saw this, I thought "THEEEEEROOOOOOOOOY JENKINS". But someone beat me to it. ='[
- ironuckles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Those conventionally held ideas of Chaos theories are such total BS, and a complete misunderstanding of reality."
If you had a bit more background in math and physics, perhaps you'd understand. Chaos is a scientific idea, based on observations and experimental evidence, not a philosophical position.
If you were able to measure with infinitely precise instruments, then you would be able to come up with a deterministic model for the universe, and you'd be able to predict the future perfectly. This is not realistic. All measurements are done with instruments of limited accuracy. This does not mean that when I pick up a ruler and try to determine the diameter of a penny that the penny will randomly change size. It means I can only measure the diameter of the penny to a certain degree. Now, imagine (I know, it's hard) that there is something that relies heavily on the size of this penny. If the diameter is less than 19 mm, something happens. If the diameter is greater than 19 mm, something else happens. This is not unrealistic either. Look up "unstable equilibrium" in a differential equations book.
Chaos is not a crazy newfangled idea, and it's not in conflict with your nihilistic ideals, however unfounded they may be. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow, this waterdragon guy is a real tool... you should stop sniffing paint, buddy... your comment made almost no sense at all.
- CronicusX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow, I read all of it. Great article.
- LikeTheRose, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0From WetDragon
"...but if 'nothing is random', then your choices are, in fact, caused by something, and therefore, they are dependent on those causes, by virtue of which they are mere results. Thus, you can do nothing original, you can have no original thoughts, in your current state of dependency (and of non-existence)"
If a butterfly farts in the woods would a tree fall if you only had one hand?
this stuff is like killing 2 stones with one bird! - ThirdPrize, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Chaos theory is so 90's.
- jeffreym, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0If butterfly wings can cause tornados, what happens when I fart?
http://celestial-reasoning.blogspot.com/ - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Random cannot truely exist, though I have always pondered about the radioactive decay of a isotope as many other scientists and philosophers.
Interesting read, but not a digg.
