This paper explains that James Gleick believes that chaos theory is revolution in thinking, a major shift from the ordered
universe of Newton and even the less mechanical
universe of Einstein. The author points out that chaos theory says that the universe is decided on the basis of chance to a great degree and that the
aggregate of those chances cannot be predicted or even discerned to allow a clear cause-and-effect assessment. The paper relates that chaos theory says that a small change in a system, which takes place all the time and cannot be tracked or even relied upon, can produce more and more changes until something much greater and unforeseen occurs.
