This is all correct—but you should always look at the actual paper and not the summary article that some journalist wrote. The authors are pretty clear about what they've shown and how it fits into ideas about chaos.
- scottlocklin 7y agoI disagree: the paper wasn't linked -the dumb summary of it was. The paper itself is a trivial result of chaotic dynamics rather than "muh mind bending woo headline."
