Welcome to the Journey to Science of Complexity, Chaos Theory & Non Linear System Dynamics:

Here is to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the trouble makers the round pegs in a square hole, the ones who see things differently. They are not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo.You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing that you can't do is ignore them, because they change things. They push the human race forward, and while some may see them a s crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who'll do it.

Chaos Theory every where

It has become my passion to collect and read material on Chaos Theory and Fractals. Now, I think I have enough to share with all my buddies. 
Books: 
The best material on Chaos Theory for lay person are two books by Dr. Bill Williams. The first one is New Trading Dimension and the other one is Trading Chaos. I would recommend to read New Trading Dimension first. It is going to change the way you look at the universe, yourself and almost every view that you had about anything. You will jump from your seat, like I did, when it is proved to you that the great genius Einstein's work too isn't without flaws. Here is the link:

Books take a long time to read. So, I have hunted down some movies to give you the taste of a world of pleasures that Chaos Theory brings to mind.
First one is a documentary by the Legend Arthur C. Clarke: Fractals- the colours of infinity.
The second is a Hollywood movie "The Butterfly Effect".

Every-other day I come across a couple of movies that include a reference to Chaos Theory. This shows how obsessed Hollywood Directors and Producers are with Chaos Theory. Welcome to the world of Chaos Theory. I promise you it will put a spell on you.
