The Secret Life of Chaos
Thursday 14 January 2010 at 9:00pm - 10:00pm on BBC4
Professor Jim Al-Khalili shows how chaos theory can answer a question that mankind has asked for millennia - how does a universe that starts off as dust end up with intelligent life? It's a mind-bending, counterintuitive and, for many people, troubling idea. But Professor Al-Khalili reveals the science behind much of the beauty and structure in the natural world and discovers that far from it being magic or an act of God, it is in fact an intrinsic part of the laws of physics.
