Chaos Theory

[NeoPhysics]

I've been doing some reading on chaos theory and i was wondering about what people think of it... I got some crazy ideas and theories of my own in case anyone wants to discuss... In fact I believe that the universe itself is a fractal... i.e. it is self similar to every single thing in it, our perception of these things being different being caused only by the fact that matter is spread at different points in the fractal. This idea wound in fact work with the String Theory, which i guess is kinda cool ... Well... if anyone got ideas about the chaos theory and would like to discuss let me know.

That sounds pretty intriguing, mathematics is the software that runs the universe and algorithms are very versatile...

 

I've not really researched that deeply into chaos theory, but it's a fascinating subject!

Yeah... this is kinda my idea... imagine three functions. One tells the distribution of protons, another the distribution of neutrons and another the distribution of electrons... basically every time a particle moves, that is, the dependent variable of those functions since they tell where particles are supposed to be, that means that if we were to look at a graph of those functions the independent variable would have been changed. The idea is that all that we see is what we get when we put those 3 graphs together, the independent variable being time itself. But then, if that is the case, what is time? how can we really define time? Because if we really think about it, time has to do with speed and distance and universally those change as the speed that the universe is expanding changes. Now, according to the Chaos Theory, if you change the initial conditions no matter how little, the results will have exponentially increasing changes. So, the question is, if we could change the speed at which matter is expanding (or possibly retracting in a very distant future) would we be able to have complete control over matter?
