Jim Al-Khalili walks us through the unexpected marriage between order and chaos, exploring the work behind Alan Turing to the theory behind the Mandelbrot set. We take a look at morphogenesis and self-organisation to give reason behind the randomness in our universe. How do the cells in a body know whether to create skin or an eye? From the dappled spots on a cow, the ripples in sand dunes, to the structure of the universe, this documentary looks at the science behind chaos and how the complexity of our universe stems from simple rules repeated over and over again.

You don’t need a PhD to not understand quantum mechanics.
Can I just say how much I enjoy this! thank you Jim Al-Khalili!
Nice 😎👍💯
You deserve an award because this is interesting
Could not a robin just perceive the direction of the magnetic field from the equator (horizontally) versus the poles (vertically)?
Posted 3 days ago; yet, I've seen this same video last year? Great video so I watched it again and again gave a 👍!
First saw Jim on big think. So good at clearly explaining these wild concepts. These docs are so well done.
Does the un observable universe exist I wonder ?
Funny how the misinterpretation of quantum entanglement persists ....
7:46 never look at the sun without eye protection
I think Entropy is energy itself and Gravity is a form Anti-Entropy.
I want to stand in a field with Colin, just smelling stuff all afternoon.
Thank You Sir
Superb series. Thank you Professor Al-Khalili!
I like his videos he does. I like his voice it's calming and informative. Thank you.
Netflix documentary level YouTube video
2.53 is the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything. So, Einstein was wrong. Which i can accept, grudgingly. But this also means Douglas Adams was not only wrong but wrong by 37.47. Which sounds like a lot. A lot of WHAT, we don't know. But that's okay. It doesn't pay to ask too many questions, or I'll end up running into further disappointments. Edit: My math was wrong and Adams was even more wrong than i first feared: 39.47.
Fascinating!
This has made me love QM more than GR
I feel the whole notion of nobody understanding QM overshadows the very real fact that one can apply it, can use it with some refinement and to good effect. In the same way, very few people really know how their phone works but can still order takeout with a very high probability of success.
