The universe was in chaos after the Big Bang kick-started the cosmos, a new study suggests.

While one might expect the explosion that began the universe to wreak some havoc, scientists mean something very specific when they refer to chaos. In a chaotic system, small changes can cause large-scale effects. A commonly cited example is the "butterfly effect"

It's not widely known but this axiom is the foundation of modern science. / How so?

I think I was being sarcastic. The Big Bang, evolution, earth science all seems like complete BS to me. It's as if it were all based upon this butterfly effect.
