Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. Catastrophe theory is a controversial new way of thinking about change -- change in a course of events, change in an object's shape, change in a system's behavior, change in ideas themselves. Its name suggests disaster, and indeed the theory can be applied to literal catastrophes such as the collapse of a bridge or the downfall of an empire. But it also deals with changes as quiet as the dancing of sunlight on the bottom of a pool of water an as subtle as the transition from waking to sleep. | |

"The old idea of Man, the microcosm, mirroring World, the macrocosm, retains all its force," Thom writes. For him, the question is not how our minds can conceive patterns applicable to the world, but how they could fail to do so, for we are in and of the world. Western mathematics, philosophy, and science alike began with those questioners on the shore of Asia Minor more than twenty-five hundred years ago. Perhaps more than anyone else alive today, René Thom is their rightful heir. (Zum Anzeigen anklicken. Warnung: Enthält möglicherweise Spoiler.) | |
