Chaos Theory: Unravelling The Universe With One Simple Equation

Jim Al-Khalili walks us through the unexpected marriage between order and chaos, exploring the work behind Alan Turing and the theory behind the Mandelbrot set. We look at morphogenesis and self-organisation to give a reason behind the randomness in our universe. How do the cells in a body know whether to create skin or an eye? From the dappled spots on a cow and the ripples in sand dunes, to the structure of the universe, this documentary looks at the science behind chaos and how the complexity of our universe stems from simple rules repeated over and over again, unravelling the universe with one simple equation.
