K4 M Illuminating the Genesis of Chaos - Mitchell Feigenbaum's Journey of Discovery #SCCS2015

Prof Mitchell Jay Feigenbaum gave a keynote talk on chaos and the stability of the solar system.

Journey into the origins of chaos theory with the legendary Prof. Mitchell Feigenbaum. In this illuminating talk, Feigenbaum traces the genesis of nonlinear dynamics and his pioneering discoveries of universal laws governing transitions to chaos. With warmth and humor, he explains how chaos arises in systems from planetary orbits to turbulent fluids. Feigenbaum recounts how in the 1970s, inspired by new experiments on fluid turbulence, he uncovered order within chaos - the constant scaling ratios by which period-doubling cascades to infinity. He reflects on the persistence and creativity required for breakthrough science. Feigenbaum also shares the excitement of testing his theories in experiments, collaborating with leading scientists, and enabling new insights into complexity. He discusses progress and open problems in foundational areas like few-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems. Feigenbaum demonstrates that while chaos appears unpredictable, its emergence obeys elegant mathematical order. Join him on this fascinating journey through "one of the most surprising discoveries of twentieth-century science" that continues illuminating nature's hidden patterns.
