Edward Lorenz  

Definición

  • Edward Norton Lorenz (1917–2008) pioneered chaos theory in the 1960s. He uncovered a phenomenon known as sensitive dependence on initial conditions, later dubbed the “butterfly effect.” This discovery played a large role in identifying the impossibility of predicting accurate, long-range trends in weather, among other phenomena.
