- Discussing how chaos paradoxically leads to formal structure and order, Samuel Won describes how the the Chaos Theory can shine light on many of the world's most unexplainable happenings. Also, Samuel Won delves into the Butterfly Effect in order to distinguish the real-world effects of the Chaos Theory.
Samuel Won is a student currently enrolled in Dacula High School. Competitive and fun, Samuel has participated in numerous academic events, winning the Honors Gold Medal for Speech in the State Academic Decathlon. As the current leader of the Dacula High School's Orchestra and String Quartet and organizer at his local art organization, Samuel shows a slice of love for the arts. Furthermore, he contains a passion about philosophy and semantics. Finding meaning and purpose within the weirdest of things and then sharing it is what Sam loves most.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Anyone else read "Dracula High School"?

Not for people, for vampires.
dracula? 😂😂😂
Yes!! 😂😂
there's two goddamn screens and the cameraman perfectly missed both of them wtf?
If you look closely, you'll see something that looks like this:
.
I guess that's how Chaos works hehe
good talk, would be nice to see the slides as well
Yeah!
Yep, was just going to say the same thing...
Fox Juan. I agree however the subject presentation may give you incentive to research Chaos a bit further. IMO it introduced a compelling aspect.
agree !
Fox Juan right
1:15 *queue Vsauce music*
Looking for this
He said, or does it. And I rushed to the comments to mention the same. And I found yours. Awesome.
Exactlyy lol
I will wright something in here so you can read it and, somehow, alter the course of mankind in a way I dream not to understand.
Great job.
Great speech.
A+
Chaos theory does not disprove Newtonian Determinism it only makes the future much harder to predict, forcing you to take every small variable into consideration rather than just the main ones. However, if you did have some way to calculate every single variable, you would be able to predict the future.
It is impossible to calculate every variable
WarheaddVids How is it impossible? Disregarding the lack of understanding we have of subatomic particles and quantum mechanics, I see nothing stopping us other than the lack of computational power and observation.
Caleb Mahlen the Heisenberg uncertainty principle
WarheaddVids that's within the field of quantum mechanics
Caleb Mahlen oh ok nvm
Great video. Great speaker.
Booooo to whoever set up camera for no slides. Thumbs down
It was probably down to a logistical issue, and if not, then a lack of expertise in recording something like this. These students are doing their best and they have my greatest thanks for making this event possible.
Very good!
One of my fav Ted talks
The paradox does not exist in our universe. If you went back in time and changed anything, even the air molecules that exist when you got there would create a completely different time line from that point on. It would not effect the timeline you left. Everything is energy based and that energy is absolutely adaptive, it will preserve itself in anyway it can. Only Quantum Mechanics will figure this out. You split an atom and it is destructive but it's energy lives on as radiation, it adapts to it's new form.
Winters so it does exist
That’s why I got pissed when captain America went back in time in the movie with hanks quantum particles. Cause he basically bootyfucked the multiverse
1:16 *VSAUCE MUSIC STARTS PLAYING*
Hahahah so true
wow, what a nice video. appreciate the inclusion of the end part
I wish I could see what the audience can see like his animations and differential equation
:(
I started googling them in a different tab
Something like this should have a couple million views yet here we are. Did Ted leave the slides out purposely? There is order in the chaos. How much more do you need?
Yep, like volcanoes forming islands or mountains.
chaos is really a too much complex order we cannot truly grasp. every cause has it's effects governed by laws, but there will never be effects that defy those laws. therefore true chaos can never be. there only will be a set of orders, some of them will be simple while others will be too much complex for us to be understood fully
I think this is just an over simplification of Newton. It's just like Einstein said, "God doesn't play dice". There can be an astronomic amount variables, just because we can't calculate it doesn't mean it's not possible. It's like saying that since we can't count how many grains of sand there are in the planet the number of grains of sand is infinity.
knowing anything depends on knowing something else.
so if i know just one thing, i know it all.
but if knowing anything depends on knowing something else..
what do you really know? nothing
This homie should watch Steins; Gate
Its actually sad! that slides were't shot. What a wonderfull video it coud have been, and obviously it was a great talk that day.
Chaos theory is a part of mathematics. It looks at certain systems that are very sensitive. A very small change may make the system behave completely differently.
This is why even large computers cannot tell the weather for more than a few days in the future. Even if the weather was perfectly measured, a small change or error will make the prediction completely wrong. Since even a butterfly can make enough wind to change weather, a chaotic system is sometimes called the "butterfly effect". No computer knows enough to tell how the small wind will change the weather.
Some systems (like weather) might appear random at first look, but chaos theory says that these kinds of systems or patterns may not be. If people pay close enough attention to what is really going on, they might notice the chaotic patterns.
The main idea of chaos theory is that a minor difference at the start of a process can make a major change in it as time progresses. Quantum chaos theory is a new idea in the study of chaos theory. It deals with quantum physics.
As an example, take a pendulum that is attached at some point, and swings freely. Connecting a second pendulum to the first will make the system completely different. It is very hard to start in exactly the same position again - a change in starting position so small that it cannot even be seen can quickly cause the pendulum swing to become different from what it was before.
A very important part to the study of chaos theory is the study of mathematics functions that are known as fractals. Fractal functions work like chaotic systems: a small change in the starting values can change the value of the function in ways that look random. Due to the fact that they are mathematical, they are easy to study.
The issue at stake in chaos theory is rather that you need to know the initial conditions of any system to an astonishingly high degree of accuracy to make accurate predictions. In practice, that's impossible to achieve. In other words, chaotic systems are not indeterminate, but underdetermined.
Another part of the problem is that the phrase "chaos theory" is misleading. The theory is neither about chaos, nor is it a theory. Rather, it refers to a collection of mathematical equations that describe bounded systems which exhibit non-linear behaviour. Such systems are plentiful in theoretical mathematics, but are rare in nature. For example, the above mentioned fractals - one part of chaos theory - only approximately describe phenomena like the shape of ferns or frost crystals, because whereas the patterns in fractals repeat on any scale ad infinitum, the patterns in ferns and frost crystals don't. Fractals are only approximations of the natural world.
And it is this underdetermination that interests many scientist. It means that a substantial degree of reductionism is required to use mathematics to describe the vast majority of natural phenomena - and where you have reductionism you also tend to have a limitation. As Polkinghorne puts it, science has not demonstrated that the universe is "causally closed". Instead, scientific descriptions are patchy because, in truth, we live in what the philosopher of science. Hence, scientists have to apply different descriptions to address different levels of organisation. And often those are incompatible. (The obvious example from physics is the incompatibility of general relativity, which describes the large scale, with quantum theory, which describes the small scale.)
It's for similar reasons that scientists discuss what is known as "emergence". For example, you might know all there is to know about the behaviour of small collections of atoms in a gaseous state, but that would tell you nothing about their large-scale behaviour as a liquid or solid. That's because the large scale environment affects the behaviour of the atoms on the small scale. They are apparently subject to "top-down" causation, as much as "bottom-up" - which is to say that the phase transitions from solid, to liquid, to gas are emergent.
This is the best description of the chaos theory I have seen
No slides :(
It wasn't until the end of this talk that I realized this wasn't Dracula high school. I even googled Dracula high. Now I'm disiiliusioned with life. Goddamn butterfly effect
U will be responsible for The WW3
love how it maxes at 360p
It would be nice to see the visuals too.
Our Universe is a grand experiment in Chaos Theory in an attempt by the "Creators" to understand it better, though I'm sure it only ended up leaving them with more questions.
this is beautiful science. parameters. metadata. everything is derived by the static environment variables. derived.
Wow. Sam, you are amazing - I feel you are practicing to change the world - YOU are your own sensitive initial condition. I hope we are all affected by it.
Chris, the collective mind is slowly getting there... we just need a little bit more time. I feel it. There's a movement boutta spark up... 🤔 just what and where is that movement gon be??......empaths feel emotion.. scientist's create innovations... everybody on this planet earth is here to make this place better, but we're so lost in the direction of others... we forgot to find our own direction.
A very fitting subject on a video that has almost half of the talk on slides that don't even appear in the video.🤔 Chaos Theory at work!
It wasn't until I read the comments that I realized it wasn't Dracula high school.
Same. Lol
dracula high school? must be a night school
I thought chaos is a ladder....
This topic sincerely interested me...just stumbled upon chaos theory and have been trying to borderline understand it since. However had to stop midway in this amazing talk just because the inability to see the presentation is too annoying to continue.
agreed! how I started reading comments
Go Won!
Was waiting for,” vsauce, Michael here.”
"City on the Edge of Forever" was a Star Trek episode in the '60s that addressed this issue. McCoy saves the life of a woman, which ends the existence of the Enterprise.
please post a link with better video of this session...showing slides gives a better understandin... I believe in chaos theory!
Good lecture, but without the slides, we miss some of the value added.
`Yes, it would have added to the presentation, however, he did mention what the charts represented. If you take time to study Lorez you will find the illustration.
Presenter: *relies heavily on visual aids to explain complex mathematical concepts*
Cameraman: "yeah but that light show in the back :o"
Use your imagination , it helps out a lot . But yeah would be much better with those slides haha.
48th president?... he means 45th
If a system doesnt has incredible sensitivity to small changes, does that system move away from chaos theory & butterfly effect ?
I say it does move away because at that point it is no longer nonlinear. The system you name sounds linear to me and solvable.
it's so sad the slides can't be seen ,
I'd like to know why people love living a Chaotic life style. I guess people thrive on that kind of life style.
We where coming up on the 45th president. Not 48th. Other than that you did a good job explaining this topic.
Chaos is only temporary. Then everything falls in order.
Everything is temporary. Yes chaos eventual falls order then that order falls into chaos.
Temporary is everything.

@@cauxxx2454 this is the very reason I'm researching chaos. I had my "ah ha" moment, and i saw that chaos will always reappear, no matter whAt is done or not done. Chaos will reappear. Order Is like cutting grass and expecting it to stay neatly trimmed. Chaos is the grass growing all around you. You didn't ask for it, look for it, nothing; but it WILL happen. Without fail. the grass/chaos will go on, unless someone interrupts it by trying to force order upon it by cutting it again. But in reality as u cut it, arrange it and order it, is it not already growing back? Chaos
@Kargadan Exactly, entropy always increase. ^^
what are the sources of this video?
the dude might have caused WW1, but if he hadnt done that it could ve been worse too you know^^ so in contrast he might have SAVED people.
And that is the problem we will never know it's the chaos theory in action different timelines of what happened
this guy did his homework
Everything has already happened. There would be no grandfather paradox. It would just changes the timeline you’ve always been trapped on. But you would still exist
I'm only here because I want to be like Ian Malcolm
hear that? it's the sound of minds being blown
CHAOS IS A LAADA
Im no genius but seeing the screen may have helped me
@14:50 this exact thing is mentioned in James chapter 3 in the bible.
Good talk though.
I can't see the ppt, kinda makes it hard to understand, that little thing affected my whole view of the concept of chaos theory. Butterfly effect is real.
Samuel won
I wonder how watching this video will affect my life.
The answer is 42.
I don't understand what exactly this is a theory of. Form? Everything? I hope not.
The universe is deterministic and there is a extent to which we can predict stuff, but there's so much more to understand and point out than what chaos theory does.
I have just gotten a D in Math an hour before watching this :
if order is an arrangement of things related by a pattern or sequence, and chao is a random order of things unrelated by a sequence, or a pattern. chaos is everything that order isn't. if only earth gained order, the rest of the infinite universe is chaos. also randomness in this case is a choice decided without meaning, purpose, or pattern.

Is that the school for the vampires
You rap good
Kind aweird how u don't show the slides, u ruined his presentation on youtube
i'm just surprised it took humans this long to figure out chaos theory
Talk is lame without the slides. :/
Did he say rise to the bottom?
Slides not being showed..
Can we make mobile time machine
Vsause?
the frameing on this video kinda sucked since you can't see the screens
Do you still say there's nothing to chaos theory?

This video is the worst.. Where's the screen??
I hope his presentation prompted you to research the topic. Unfortunately, we cannot be spoon fed on complex subjects.
Explains why astrology works scientifically. Fascinating
I am sorry but you have misunderstood what he was saying.
Chaos theory is just a combo of determinism and computational irreducablity it seems like. And the technique they use to predict so accurately has nothing to do with chaos theory, it's just a form of swarm intelligence. They use a bunch of peoples intuition/consciousness information and run it through an algorithm.
It is true that the universe is both deterministic AND chaotic but "the butterfly effect" is, imo, a poor analogy for whats really or really not going on.
it's nothing without the siders
Then you may be well served by listening again. The presentation is superb.
Wtf why can't I see the differential equation? Aw
the audio is horrible on this video
Everybody- oooh chaos Theory
Me- why does he say Newton that way?
48th president?
If you look closely, you'll see something that looks like this:

360p makes me week. This was released in 2016 goddammit
Camera man...proving chaos theory lol
48th president? Mandela Effect?
Exactly. You cant find the whole out of. .9999 continuous. Hence, math cant solve everything.
I love chaos theory and how if it was not true everything would be known before it even happened and life would be meaningless and boring.
@@urbanwarchief but ur just talking personally.
Did he say that Rosa Parks birthed MLK?
What a complete plum
Rosa Parks was only one of many people that sat at the front of the bus 😂
Nice ...so sad hes just trippin on LSD
