Philosophy Wire: Chaotic particles. Chaotic cosmos. Teardrops from the sky…

A phenomenon that is well known from chaos theory was observed in a material for the first time ever. A structural transition in the ferroelastic material barium titanate, caused by an increase or decrease in temperature, resembles the periodic doubling seen in non-linear dynamical systems. This 'spatial chaos' in a material was first predicted in 1985 and could be used in applications such as adaptable neuromorphic electronics. [1] See the cosmos splitting in two. Right before your eyes. And then come together in unity. It is a chaotic world. It is a world in perfect order. So strange. And yet, so familiar. In the eyes of an angered man. In the sadness of a wise woman. Yes, you can observe structural transitions some-How. But it is that Why which makes you doubt if that really means anything. Look carefully. Do you dare question yourself?
