This is a sensationalist headline. Ramsey's theorem concerns patterns in a simple system, the coloring of edges in a graph. It says regardless of how the graph is colored you can always find a triangle of vertices with certain properties.
This does not mean complete disorder is impossible. It's just a combinatorial argument that says this simple game of coloring edges on a graph has some patterns to it.
But then maybe you're of the mindset that the universe is a complete graph and physics is a color by number game...in which case....oh god, we're all screwed...
