The Chaos theory, also known as the “Butterfly Effect”, is a philosophy by

Edward Lorenz which states that every system in our universe is constantly altered to
seem random and non-linear, but in fact can be predicted by using a set of principles,
factors, and patterns. It is stated that within these chaotic and complex systems are
hidden patterns that are the results of certain initial conditions from its surroundings.
David Berreby, an author for chemistry books, stated, “Systems are not accidental or
random, but rather the results of the laws of nature that we don’t yet fully understand.”
Over time the predictions of these systems get more random and harder to predict
because of the slight changes that continue to build up and the non-linearity of the
chaotic systems complicate the phenomena even further. We can not account for all the
changes because of their sheer amount. This documentary will go over the following:
relationship between the chaos theory and entropy, how regularity and irregularity
closely relate to each other, and examples of the application of chaos theory in our
current world.

Entropy is the measurement of the randomness in a system. This relates to the

Chaos theory’s concept of randomness by controlling the universe's systems through
disorder. They both have the idea of being made through randomness and that our
universe is in a chaotic pattern. Order only exists because disorder is possible through it
and this creates a cycle. Solids melting to liquids represent an order-disorder transition
while liquids to solids can represent a disorder to order transition. This shows that order
and disorder exist because of each other.

The weather system is a popular application of chaos theory. The weather itself is
considered to be very sensitive to the initial conditions and may change rapidly to the
point it seems random, but this system isn’t exactly random. It has an underlying pattern
and order that we can predict that gets harder to predict due to the build up of the rapid
changes of the surrounding factors like temperature, atmosphere, precipitation, and solar
radiation. These changes can result in disorder and unpredictability, since we cannot
hold account of all minor details. A historical example would be the discovery of plastic.
Leo Baekeland invented Bakelite, also known as plastic, so it can replace paper bags
and reduce deforestation. However, even with his good intentions of saving trees, the
plastic that is thrown away is dumped into the ocean causing what we can see as chaos
and disorder in the ocean to this very day. The invention of plastic has led to what we
could have never predicted at that time.
