OK the question about your ancestors was flippant. More to the point: are there any family names (surnames) in your ancestory that have died out? If so, how did that happen?
Do you imagine that evolution exibits a direction, or that it forsees changing conditions?
The applications of chaos theory are infinite; seemingly random systems produce
patterns of spooky understandable irregularity. From the Mandelbrot set to turbulence to feedback and strange attractors; chaos appears to be everywhere. Breakthroughs have been made in the past in the area chaos theory, and, in order to achieve any more colossal accomplishments in the future, they must continue to be made.
Understanding chaos is understanding life as we know it. However, if we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. -Stephen Hawking
