Chaos and Complex Systems Seminar

Clint Sprott, UW-Madison Department of Physics, discusses some of the lessons he has learned from listening to over 500 talks of the Chaos Seminar and his own research and reading, arguing that the feedback, nonlinearities and self-organization that characterize all real dynamical systems are more likely to ameliorate the dire consequences that others have predicted than to exacerbate them as so many fear.
