In the 1960s, a clever meteorologist named Edward Lorenz changed mathematics forever.

Lorenz had created a brilliant new weather forecasting model, and he quickly noticed that even tiny changes in the input could produce wildly different results. These observations became Chaos Theory, which studies dynamical systems that can radically change with different initial conditions.

While it might be cruel to try to compare our complicated existence to mathematics, it’s this very exercise that has lead to a complex understanding of our world. Aren’t all the events in our lives little Lorenz equations, spiraling out of control with every choice we make? An extra smile in the morning cascading across time to a pleasant nights sleep; A sly comment leading to an exchange of numbers, an exchange of viewpoints, an exchange of families. An extra hot latte becomes a car crash. A beautiful melody becomes a novel. An egg grows into a president. A ball bursts into everything and everyone, and suddenly time begins.

We’re all chaos, searching in the dark for something we can hold on to. This is my website to show my work, ideas, ramblings, and nerdiness. Need a website of your own? I can do that, too.
