Explore an in-depth interview with Stephen H. Kellert on dynamical systems and chaos theory in this 35-minute video from Complexity Explorer's "Introduction to Dynamical Systems and Chaos" course. Gain insights into the interdisciplinary nature of chaos theory, its impact on various fields, and its role in reshaping scientific thinking. Discover how chaos theory challenges traditional notions of predictability, explores the emergence of complex behavior from simple rules, and influences disciplines beyond physics. Learn about bifurcations, sensitive dependence, and the stability of disordered behavior. Delve into discussions on the philosophy of science, qualitative vs. quantitative predictions, and the importance of computer models in studying dynamical systems. Examine the application of chaos theory in literature, legal scholarship, and its relationship with postmodernism. Understand the significance of scientific pluralism and the value of borrowing concepts across disciplines in advancing our understanding of complex systems. Read more
