Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
to as "New Age" thinkers have addressed various aspects of the theory. But at its core, chaos theory is directly related to physics since it is the science of physics
which determined that all movement can be defined as being determined, random, or chaotic. It is the further exploration of chaotic motion that has captured the imagination of people considering
the phenomenon in the context of their particular discipline, whether it is psychology or space exploration. Three Forms of Motion As already noted, all motion falls under one of
three classifications in physics -- deterministic, random, and chaotic. Kincanon and Powel explain that "deterministic" motion can be applied to all scientific research and inquiry that took place before the
20th century (495). By that, they mean that: "The hallmarks of deterministic motion are the ability to make predictions for all time, given the initial conditions of the system and
the fact that small changes in initial conditions cause small changes in the motion" (Kincanon and Powel 495). They use the example of "projectile motion" to explain that concept
further noting that if the speed and angle of a projection is known, the overall movement/motion of the projectile can be predetermined and then interpreted. When the different factors or
inputs are altered, the height and distance the item travels will change but not the way it moves (Kincanon and Powel 495). "This deterministic motion and many others are well
understood and form part of our everyday experience" (Kincanon and Powel 495). They then explain that random motion cannot be predicted and "gives completely different results, no matter how large
or small the changes in initial conditions" (Kincanon and Powel 495). One need only think of the many gambling games that exist in the world. Any state lottery is
