| Résumé : |
[...] Explains the astonishing theories of systems thet obey simple laws but wich are neither constant nor predictable. Ina Stewart reveals a strange universe. A universe in which nothing may be as it seems, where familiar geometrical shapes such as circles and ellipses give way to infinitely complex structures known as "fractals". He explains how the fluttering of a butterfly's wing can change the weather and how the gravitational attraction of a creature in a distant galaxy can change the fate of the solar system.[...] |
