what effect does chaos have on human?

Panic? Because we're so accustomed to wanting routine and symmetry.

so if a butterfly flaps its wings it creates a tiny bit of wind, right? the theory is that if that butterfly creates that bit of wind, it changes the strength of the wind overall, and so alters the weather, and the weather alters peoples' plans and the survival of species and a million other things... \n\nit's one way of saying that nothing is so insignifigant that it doesn't make a difference, and the smallest things can still have huge impacts. it's a metaphor for chaos theory.\n\ni reccommend the second link, it's more fun. wikipedia is more informative, though.

Chaos (derived from the Greek Χάος, Chaos) typically refers to unpredictability. The word χάος did not mean "disorder" in classical-period ancient Greece. It meant "the primal emptiness, space". It is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root ghn or ghen meaning "gape, be wide open": compare "chasm" (from Greek χάσμα), and Anglo-Saxon gānian ("yawn"), geanian, ginian ("gape wide"); see also Old Norse Ginnungagap. Due to people misunderstanding early Christian uses of the word, the meaning of the word changed to "disorder". (The Ancient Greek for "disorder" is ταραχή.). Mathematically chaos means an aperiodic deterministic behavior which is very sensitive to its initial conditions, i.e., infinitesimal perturbations of boundary conditions for a chaotic dynamic system originate finite variations of the orbit in the phase space; see chaos theory.\n\n\n\ncha·os (kā'ŏs') \nn.\nA condition or place of great disorder or confusion.\nA disorderly mass; a jumble: The desk was a chaos of papers and unopened letters.\noften Chaos The disordered state of unformed matter and infinite space supposed in some cosmogonic views to have existed before the ordered universe.\nMathematics. A dynamical system that has a sensitive dependence on its initial conditions.\nObsolete. An abyss; a chasm.

I guess it effects everyone differently.

If a butterfly flaps its wings then the air around it moves. that air bumps into more air, which bumps into more air which bumps into more air... the process goes on until it causes a chain of events that may cause a hurricane thousands of kilometres away.\nConsider now:\nA million butterflies flapping 2 million wings, causing so much air movement that the prediction of a hurricane becomes incredibly hard.\n\nThe chaos effect is to describe that us being merely human we can not even comprehend the results of a single action which no matter how small could have huge effects. however considering this there is nothing we can do to predict these effects because they work on mathematics and conditions that simply can not be held in a single equation.\n\n\nI recommend reading the 'Foundation' series by Isacc Assimov, it is a science fiction story of people trying to predict the future of the human race using mathematics.

Chaos... believe it or not, having a slightly disorganised personal space is one sign of a very healthy mind. It shows you are confident in your lifestyle and self reliant in your views and relaxed enough to enjoy life, without having to set ridgid boundries to guide you.

Chaos - a state of utter confusion or disorder; a total lack of organization or order.\nReason - a basis or cause, as for some belief, action, fact, event, etc.\nScience - systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation.\nReligion - a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.\nPhilosophy - the rational investigation of the truths and principles of being, knowledge, or conduct.\nArt - the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.\nEvolution - change in the gene pool of a population from generation to generation by such processes as mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift.\n\nNope. Looks like they all have different definitions to me!

Yes many people have been affected by this. Hope this answer helps

It might be worth thinking about entropy.  \n\nIf you take a system that has Chlorine molecules together and Oil molecules then the system is more chaotic with Chlorine and Oil randomly mixed so the driving force is increased chaos (although you have a gas going to a gas dissolved in a liquid the chaos of the total system may increase)\n\nHowever on a molecular level, it does seem confusing, to work out the arrangement. it would be important to look at the magnitude of the VDW forces between Oil-Oil chains and their usual form, and the net benefit of the VDW forces between Oil and CL and the added entropic element.

The basic trend in nature for anything to move from a state of order to one of disorder (chaos) over time.  Think of dropping a glass of water.  It breaks into many pieces and goes flying everywhere.  Now if you picked up all of the pieces and dropped them, they would not reform into a complete glass.  This is an example of entropy.

I'm not familiar with that particular book, but the differential equations of simple harmonic motion are interesting.  You can make the system as complex as you like.  I've studied SHM in both maths and physics.  I simulated SH oscillators with operational amplifiers; in other words an analogue computer.  First you simulate a frictionless pendulum, then you introduce friction so the oscillations die away, then you introduce forcing terms of various frequencies to see what happens; like pushing a child on a swing.  If you're really clever, you can introduce hysteresis (delay), and extra degrees of freedom (flexible joints in the pendulum), and vary the Q of the system (how sharply you can tune it to the resonant frequency).  It's about the most open-ended project I ever saw.  I did it in second-year physics.  At its simplest, it's just sixth form maths, but you can turn it into an impossibly complex exercise in chaotic systems if you're clever.

It is unlikely you will find a reliable answer.  The Farmer's Almanac may help because it uses data from  many years to predict typical weather for a period of time.  The relatively new field of Chaotic Math uses a butterfly as its logo, because just the flapping of a butterfly's wings would be enough to upset long-range predictions of weather given initially perfect data.  The effect was discovered when long range weather forcasts were being studied on a super-computer that sometimes trunkated "unnecessary decimal places."  Congratulations and I hope you have great weather.

This makes little sense, but the answer is "No".\nNature doesn't make things that follow a set path. Living things explore all possible paths, and the environment limits which behaviors provide a Net Creativity for each species (in that environment). As things change, we need this lack of discipline to be able to adapt to new environments.\nLife is Chaotic because it lives in a chaotic universe.
