Professor Al-Khalili’s ‘Secret Life of Chaos’ is one of the finest explanations you’ll ever likely see on television, dispelling the human fantasy of the existence of God forever.
Perhaps only 200,00 people will get see this very smart, yet simply presented set of ideas directed by Nic Stacey and Furnace Productions for the BBC.
Chaos Theory is a mindbending, counterintuitive and for many people a deeply troubling idea. But Professor Al-Khalili reveals the science behind much of beauty and structure in the natural world and discovers that far from it being magic or an act of God, it is in fact an intrinsic part of the laws of physics. Amazingly, it turns out that the mathematics of chaos can explain how and why the universe creates exquisite order and pattern.
Professor Al-Khalili, (now officially my second favourite TV Presenter) has one of the smartest pay-off lines on any science programme I’ve ever seen. “I can scientifically guarantee that I have know way of telling you what the future will hold”. That’s chaos.
