Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

Edward Lorenz Chaos Theory

Edward Lorenz Was a meteorologist and a mathematician who loved to study the weather. He was the first true experimenter of chaos and tried to explain why it was so hard to make good weather forecasts. This would unleash a scientific revolution called chaos theory. There are two main components of the chaos theory, no matter how complex they may be rely upon an underlying order, and that very simple or small systems and events can cause very complex and unexpected behaviors or events. This idea is known as sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Lorenz discoveries shocked the scientific world and in all of its fields. We learn that the heartbeat is chaotic, the stock market, the solar system, and of course the weather.
