As a graduate student at MIT, I was privileged to meet with Dr. Lorenz. I had nothing to do with the work in his field, but even after he had long “retired”, he still enjoyed meeting with first-year grad students and the EAPS Dept. functions. It’s not everyday you can chill out and drink with a living legend.
Here’s to you, Ed.
[…] to deconstruct individualism until it became group dependent was that they actually believed they could control the monster they created and […]
Cut down in his prime… a pity.
MIT said Lorenz’s early work “marked the beginning of a new field of study that impacted not just the field of mathmatics but virtually every branch of science — biological, physical and social.”
“Some scientists have since asserted that the 20th century will be remembered for three scientific revolutions — relativity, quantum mechanics and choas,” the statement said.
The 20th century will be remembered for “choas”?
Shit, now I’m really scared.
Not to mention poor spelling by major institutions of higher learning.
Well, in all fairness, McGehee, it is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and not the Massachusetts Institute of Arts and Letters. So they probably got the math right.
Maybe so — but I’ll remember the 20th century for nonsense, not choas or chaos or sahoc or whatever. And that’s what I was predicting a good eight years before the century ended.
By Chaos, they mean “Chaos Theory”, the study of randomness inherent in natural systems.
