• Antes se pensaba que los acontecimientos que cambiaban el mundo eran cosas como las grandes bombas, los políticos maníacos, los grandes terremotos o los grandes movimientos de población, pero ahora se ha comprendido que se trata de una visión muy anticuada mantenida por personas totalmente alejadas del pensamiento moderno. Lo que realmente cambia el mundo, según la teoría del Caos, son las cosas diminutas. Una mariposa bate sus alas en la selva amazónica y, posteriormente, una tormenta arrasa media Europa.

• Chaos theory, a more recent invention, is equally fertile ground for those with a bent for abusing sense. It is unfortunately named, for 'chaos' implies randomness. Chaos in the technical sense is not random at all. It is completely determined, but it depends hugely, in strangely hard-to-predict ways, on tiny differences in initial conditions.

• They believed that prediction was just a function of keeping track of things. If you knew enough, you could predict anything. That's been cherished scientific belief since Newton.' And?' Chaos theory throws it right out the window.

• I don't think there is such a thing as as a real prophet. You can never predict the future. We know why now, of course; chaos theory, which I got very interested in, shows you can never predict the future.

• We know from chaos theory that even if you had a perfect model of the world, you'd need infinite precision in order to predict future events. With sociopolitical or economic phenomena, we don't have anything like that.

• I'm very moved by chaos theory, and that sense of energy. That quantum physics. We don't really, in Hindu tradition, have a father figure of a God. It's about cosmic energy, a little spark of which is inside every individual as the soul.

• The amazing thing is that chaotic systems don't always stay chaotic," Ben said, leaning on the gate. "Sometimes they spontaneously reorganize themselves into an orderly structure." "They suddenly become less chaotic?" I said, wishing that would happen at HiTek. "No, that's the thing. They become more and more chaotic until they reach some sort of chaotic critical mass. When that happens, they spontaneously reorganize themselves at a higher equilibrium level. It's called self-organized criticality.

• I believe that only short-term price swings can be predicted with any precision. The accuracy of a prediction drops off dramatically, the more distant the forecast time. I'm a strong believer in chaos theory.

• A good chaos theory means you have a disciplined strategy behind the scenes of how you're going to roll out policy. And then you do it in a way that inflicts chaos on the press and your opponents.

• I've found him to be a disappointment. Wonderful speech in Egypt, and good intentions aside, foreign policy needs to be firmly grounded in reality, and understanding of a sort of chaos theory...[that is to say] it needs to be part good intention, part political intelligence, and part political savvy and knowledge of international interests and national burdens. President Obama has been extremely short-sighted in this sense, and if he fails, it will be a tragic blow for peaceniks and multilateralists the world over, and a manna from heaven for the Republican party.

• Encantador no es la palabra que nos vendría inmediatamente a la mente al describir una obra que trata de geometría fractal, algoritmos iterados, teoría del caos y la segunda ley de la termodinámica, pero encaja a la perfección con la asombrosa obra de Tom Stoppard de 1993, que es tan bella como brillante. Este es un drama de Stoppard que no hace falta ser Einstein para entenderlo: se puede sentir y también pensar. (...) Impresionante, estimulante y profundamente satisfactorio.

• Jeff Carver es un escritor de ciencia ficción dura que lo hace bien: su ciencia y su gente son igualmente convincentes. NEPTUNE CROSSING combina sus puntos fuertes, desde una escalofriante mirada a la inteligencia de las máquinas alienígenas, pasando por la teoría del caos de vanguardia, hasta las angustias de los humanos finitos frente a lo infinito. Si le gustan las ideas intrigantes envueltas en una trama apasionante, éste es su libro.
