The Beginning of Chaos Theory

Compiling Chaos Theory into a 2-3 page paper isn't going to be as easy as I thought. I had always thought it (Chaos Theory) as a little piece of science from Jurassic Park, but as I look into it more and more I find that it is in fact a complete field of science/math studies that both scientists and mathematicians continue to debate over. Chaos Theory is a very complex system of science that I hope to grasp by the time I finish this paper, even if I only understand the basics of it. It is crazy to think that Ian Malcolm was so sure of himself as he predicted the fall of Jurassic Park. Even the world itself, chaos, means a state of utter confusion. The fact that Dr. Malcolm could state with utter certainty that Jurassic Park would ultimately fail is astounding in itself. I don't understand much of Chaos yet, but it seems to be a science that is full of interpretation and trial and error and guessing. As I delve deeper into my research, Chaos Theory seems more and more like a science fiction theory instead of a factual modern day science. I just do not understand how it can be proven or disproved when it still cannot be fully understood. I sit here wondering how my other group members will tackle this paper. Will our responses be very similar, just skimming the outer edges of a confusing science, or will each of our papers hit a different topic of Chaos Theory? I am almost jealous of Professor Wright as she gets to read and grade our papers. Almost.
