Here's a fun thing to do: Prop up a match using blu-tack in your microwave, light the match and turn on the microwave. The microwaves will then ionise the gases around the flame and make the match give off plasma (the 4th state). And I promise it won't wreck your microwave either.
Kind of back on-topic: If you plot y = sin(360x) for integer values of x, you should get a flat line at 0. But if you do that in Excel, then because of rounding errors it gives you values that are around 10^-15. Plot the graph in Excel and you get a kind of fractal thing.
]]>Another question: do you think Newtonian (or any) laws apply to the noosphere or to people's information fields?
Ok, this isn't really scientific but "what comes around goes around" sure looks like one of Newton's laws.
And if information fields can be defined, how?
But flames and clouds do seem to have similarities: varying densities, hard-to-define edges, constantly changing form.

Static or not, I am still against randomity.What is faulty with my "starting values" theory?If I'm so wrong, then correct me.
Common equations are too weak to express the mechanics of the universe.

]]>Creating chaos with order.
A few years back, I figured out a way to make fractals using photoshop.
Ever since I've been making digital art and hope to have a gallery quality website up before new years.
However, being able to define chaos is (in a sense) creating order.
I believe that "randomity" is one of the basics of nature. Possibly more fundamental than space and time.
If the universe were Newtonian (totally definable and mechanical) then we could write a set of equations (a large set, but still possible) that completely defined the universe from beginning to end. So it would be a static universe.

Interpreting order from chaos.
]]>Take the tangens(sp) of a corner.I am not so interested in what the tangens is at known values (30 degrees root 3/3 and so on) but what really does intrigue me is: we all know that the tangens of 90 degrees is ∞, but if you subtract a number so small that it lies somewhere in the end of the endless PI tail of it, it would be a existing number, almost endlessly far but still existant.That is what truly intrigues me, what does TRULY happen at those edges where traditional maths says that it SUPPOSES something is like that.Those edges beyond all numbers and known defenitions.Perharps it's just my childish ignorance and curiosity playing in me.
I interpret chaos as it is, as I consider there is no order and chaos, only defined and undefined things according to mankind.Your apple is only for us 1 apple, it is in fact no more than a part of "1 ecosystem" which is a part of "1 galaxy" which, at the end, is a part of "1 plane of existance".
So to me, there isn't a difference between order and chaos, they are for me as relative as random, up, beautiful....
