Summary

Since Newton, a basic principle of natural philosophy has been determinism, the possibility of predicting evolution overtime into the far future, given the governing equations and starting conditions. Our everyday experience often strongly contradicts this expectation. In the past few decades we have come to understand that even motions in simple systems can have complex and surprising properties.
