¿Existe el Efecto Mariposa? Teoría del Caos y Fractales - CuriosaMente 215

The video explores chaos theory, starting with the butterfly effect and its philosophical roots. It discusses Edward Lorenz's discovery of sensitive dependence on initial conditions, highlighting the unpredictability in deterministic systems. Classical physics' deterministic nature is contrasted with chaos theory, which shows that even small changes can lead to vastly different outcomes. The concept of attractors and their role in chaotic systems is explained, along with applications in natural phenomena and technology.

Describe how the addition of a second pendulum affects the predictability of a system.

What is an attractor in the context of chaotic systems?

How can chaos theory be applied to human sciences according to recent studies?
