Talk:1399: Chaos

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Dr. Sattler, Dr. Grant, you've heard of chaos theory? No? Non-linear equations? Strange attractions? Dr. Sattler, I refuse to believe that you aren't familiar with the concept of attraction.[1] 173.245.62.62 05:09, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Dr. Ian Malcolm: See, here I'm now sitting by myself, uh, er, talking to myself. That's, that's chaos theory. [2] 173.245.62.62 05:12, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the quotes -- they really helped with writing the explanation! 108.162.238.175 06:07, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Why write 'third sequel' instead of 'fourth film'? It's quite confusing as I initially misread it to be the third instalment instead of sequel. 141.101.92.203 06:43, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

No particular reason. I've changed it.108.162.238.175 06:51, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Top-left in the in-comic diagram(s) appears to be a 'fern', another fractal construct which may also be an incidental reference to the native flora of the Jurassic (and non-Jurassic) eras of the dinosaurs. 141.101.99.233 08:49, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

"phase space, nonlinear equations, and strange attractors" is not a quote from the movie. The script contains:

MALCOLM

Dr. Grant, Dr. Sattler -- you've heard of Chaos Theory?

ELLIE

(shaking her head)

No.

MALCOLM

No? Non-linear equations? Strange attractions?

(again, she shrugs)

Dr. Sattler, I refuse to believe that you are not familiar with the concept of attraction!

The book mentions all three terms, but not in order. Condor70 (talk)
