- dmbche 3y agoInteresting! I'll look into that. I'm about 1/3 into The Information, from the same author - also a good read for anyone interested!
- esafak 3y agoDid chaos theory as a whole go anywhere? Where is it used, meteorology?
- actinium226 3y agoDidn't really go very far. It's a subfield of dynamical systems, and some of its results have been used there. People continue to study it, but it's more in the pure math area, at this point anyway. Recently I heard about some new research into "wild chaos" which sounds interesting.
