9/26 - Samantha Galgano

How has chaos theory changed the world? Well, today in class, Mr. Rivers played a podcast that explained this question. The assignment was titled '5-4-3-2-1:Podcast!'. In this assignment, it included a link to the podcast itself, and also a link to a google document with the 5-4-3-2-1 questions on it. The podcast is posted on the website stuffyoushouldknow.com. The podcast is around an hour in length and involves two guys talking about chaos theory and the impact it's had on the world.

The 5-4-3-2-1 questions are questions that you should answer while listening to the podcast.  The first question was 5, so we had to write down 5 interesting and important facts that you learned while listening to the broadcast. Then we had to write down 4 ways that chaos theory changed science. The next question we had to answer was to write down 3 questions that this podcast inspires. Then we had to write down 2 problems, questions, or ideas that you could research beyond this podcast. Finally, we had to write down 1 strong definition of the term 'Chaos Theory'.

Although I tend to stray away from listening to podcasts, because I find it slightly boring to just be listening to someone speak rather than actually watching them speak in a video, this podcast did spark my interest, as the topic of chaos theory is quite a broad and interesting one. This podcast also touched on the Butterfly Effect, which is the theory that if a butterfly flaps it's wings in one part of the world, it has the potential to cause a tornado on the other side of the world.
