Uh, uh, now, eventually you do plan to have d_nos_urs...
On yOUr, On yOUr dinosaur tour, right ?
Hello ? H-Hello.
[ Exhales ] Yes ?
l really hate that man.
[ Groans ]
See, the tyrannosaur, uh, uh, doesn't obey any set patterns or, or park schedules.
The essence, uh, ofchaos.
Um, l'm still not clear on chaos. Wh-What does that mean ?
Oh, oh, it simply deals with, uh, unpredictability in complex systems.
The shorthand is the, the Butter_y Effect.
A butter_y can flap its wings in Peking,
and in Central Park you get rain instead ofsunshine.
l go too fast. l did a fly-by.
Give me that glass ofwater. We're going to conduct an experiment.
lt should be still. The car's bouncin' up and down, but that's okay.
Now, put your hand flat like a hieroglyphic.
Say a drop ofwater falls on your hand.
Which way is the drop going to fall om? Which finger ?
Thumb, l'd say.
Aha. Okay. Now freeze your hand. Don't move.
l'm going to do the same thing, start with the same place again.
Which way is it going to roll off?
S-Same way. Back the same way.
[ Gasps ] It changed.
lt changed. Why ? Because tiny variations:
uh, the orientation of the hairs on your hands,
um, the amount of blood distending your vessels, imperfections in the skin--
lmperfections in the skin ?
And never repeat and vastly affect the outcome.
That's... what ? Unpredictability.
[ Malcolm ] Right.
There. Look at this. See ?
l'm right again. Nobody could've predicted that Dr. Grant would suddenly,
suddenlyjump out ofa moving vehicle.
Alan !
[ Chuckling ] See, here l'm now by myself, uh, er, talking to myself.
That's, that's chaos theoy.
