This equation will change how you see the world

The logistic map connects fluid convection, neuron firing, the Mandelbrot set and so much more.

Have they found a new constant ?

Ah, the old “period doubling route to chaos”.

True, the mathematics is old hat but, well, all useful pure mathematics is old hat.

The logistic map is from 1976, which is about as recent as mathematics gets (the continuous wavelet transform is from 1975 and the Mandelbrot set was first drawn in 1978).

But is it worth 18 minutes of my time to watch it?

Or where can I read the same stuff in a minute or two?

By the way.

Yes.
