混沌理论，一直是困扰人类数千年的一个迷。这种在动态系统中无法用单一的数据关系解释和预测的神秘理论，在科学界只有初步的了解。在本部纪录片中，吉姆·奥卡利里教授将带领我们探索这神秘的混沌理论，试图揭开这层归因于神奇或者上帝力量的神秘面纱。 　　吉姆教授带着宇宙是如何由从尘埃中诞生，又是如何孕育出智慧生命的难题，开始了他的探秘旅程。混沌中的数学可以解释宇宙中从无序中产生有序的神奇景象，他揭示出大自然那些令人叹为观止的美丽和结构中隐藏的科学规律，它是物理定律的固有的组成。看过本片之后，你眼中的世界会变得与众不同。Chaos theory has a bad name, conjuring up images of unpredictable weather, economic crashes and science gone wrong. But there is a fascinating and hidden side to Chaos, one that scientists are only now beginning to understand. It turns out that chaos theory answers a question that mankind has asked for millennia - how did we get here? In this documentary, Professor Jim Al-Khalili sets out to uncover one of the great mysteries of science - how does a universe that starts off as dust end up with intelligent life? How does order emerge from disorder? It's 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. And the best thing is that one doesn't need to be a scientist to understand it. The natural world is full of awe-inspiring examples of the way nature transforms simplicity into complexity. From trees to clouds to humans - after watching this film you'll never be able to look at the world in the same way again.
