BOOK REVIEW Critical Phenomena in Natural Sciences: Chaos, Fractals, Selforganization and Disorder: Concepts and Tools D Sornette Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag (2004) 528pp EUR79.95, £61.50, US$99.00 (hardback) ISBN 3-540-40754-5 Since the discovery of the renormalization group theory in statistical physics, the realm of applications of the concepts of scale invariance and criticality has pervaded several fields of natural and social sciences. This is the leitmotiv of Didier Sornette's book, who in Critical Phenomena in Natural Sciences reviews three decades of developments and applications of the concepts of criticality, scale invariance and power law behaviour from statistical physics, to earthquake prediction, ruptures, plate tectonics, modelling biological and economic systems and so on. This strongly interdisciplinary book addresses students and researchers in disciplines where concepts of criticality and scale invariance are appropriate: mainly geology from which most of the examples are taken, but also engineering, biology, medicine, economics, etc. A good preparation in quantitative science is assumed but the presentation of statistical physics principles, tools and models is self-contained, so that little background in this field is needed. The book is written in a simple informal style encouraging intuitive comprehension rather than stressing formal derivations. Together with the discussion of the main conceptual results of the discipline, great effort is devoted to providing applied scientists with the tools of data analysis and modelling necessary to analyse, understand, make predictions and simulate systems undergoing complex collective behaviour.

What is Information? The Flow of Bits and the Control of Chaos by David Sholle The argument of this paper is that both academic and political/economic discourses on the information society are feed into the instrumental projects of developing a technological infrastructure and instituting economic practices for controlling the exchange of informational products. As such, these projects operate with a conception of information that brackets its meaning, while allowing "information as meaning" to remain as an unspoken background that seeps into their discourse. This discourse and the practices to which it is connected have profound implications for how the new technologies will be utilized. I. "INFORMATION" AS KEY WORD As Machlup (1983, 642) has noted, the original meaning of the word "information" derives from the Latin, informare II. DEFINING INFORMATION

My only experience in Physics is a thirty page thesis on the question, What is Light? I am doing a follow up science fair project concerning the significance of the establishment of String theory on chaos theory. My logic behind this is that since the hisenberg uncertainity priciple is basically based on the idea that the electrons postion is chaotic, wouldn't string theory if proven denounce the idea of the choatic electron in favor of a wave viewed electron.

Discuss Help on Chaos theory Here, Free! matt grime - Help on Chaos theory chaos theory is, approximately, the study of non linear systems that display certain properties. it isn't things that behave "at random" and is actually to do with things that are deterministic ie if we knew the system at time t exactly we ould know it at all future times, but given two starting configurations of the system at time t, then at some point in the future the system would form two configurations as far apart as we wish (sensitive dependence) and that all possible configurations can be obtained from a "small" set of starting configurations (topological transitivity). there are other variations on these.

The Wonders of Physics In the matter of physics, the first lessons should contain nothing but what is experimental and interesting to see. A pretty experiment is in itself often more valuable than twenty formulae extracted from our minds. Albert Einstein General Description Never has there been a time when an understanding of science has been more important to the well-being of individuals and to the nation than the present. Yet many recent studies have documented a lack of interest in science and hence a decline in science literacy in the United States. To address this problem, the University of Wisconsin - Madison in 1984 began a program called The Wonders of Physics aimed at generating interest in physics among people of all ages and backgrounds. The heart of the program is a fast-paced presentation of physics demonstrations carefully chosen to be entertaining as well as educational. The show has been presented by Professor Clint Sprott on the Madison campus over 170 times to a total audience of about 60,000. In addition a smaller traveling show has been developed and presented by physics graduate students and staff several hundred times to audiences of all ages throughout Wisconsin and the nation. A variety of educational tools and materials have been developed including printed handouts, videotapes, and computer software.

E-mail: codenotti@iei.pi.cnr.it and Luciano Margara Department of Computer Science University of Pisa Corso Italia 40 56100-Pisa (Italy). E-mail: margara@di.unipi.it Abstract: Chaotic dynamical systems have received a great deal of attention in recent years. Many efforts have been done in determining which properties a dynamical system must obey to be considered chaotic (see for instance [2,2,3,6]). In spite of this, no universally accepted definition of chaos does exist. This is due to at least two different kinds of reasons: dynamical systems are studied in different fields so that the word chaos assumes different meanings, in certain fields, the theory of chaos is not yet completely developed. In this work we consider three different environments in which the notion of chaos arises, e.g., mathematics, physics, and computer science, and discuss similarities and dissimilarities in the corresponding definitions.

Zoller (Innsbruck) Scientific Secretary: G. Benenti (Como) Quantum computation is an emerging interdisciplinary field, which takes advantage of concepts from both information theory and quantum mechanics. During the last decade great progress has been made in the understanding of how quantum computing and quantum communications can be performed and efficient algorithms and communication protocols have been developed. Due to the massive parallelism of quantum evolution certain quantum algorithms demonstrate an exponential gain compared to algorithms based on classical dynamics. In fact, a quantum computer represents a complex system of many coupled qubits, which in general can be viewed as a many-body interacting quantum system. On the other hand, qubit or spin interactions have also been studied extensively in the field of quantum chaos, in which typical problems are decoherence and the quantum-to-classical transition, subjects that are also essential for any realistic implementation of a quantum computer. Understanding the connections between these fields may provide interesting cross fertilization of both fields. The aim of the school is to provide the background and to introduce participants to recent achievements in these rapidly developing directions of research. The main accent will be on the theory of quantum-computer algorithms, error-correcting codes, decoherence and quantum chaos effects in the exponentially large Hilbert space of quantum computers. The understanding of these theoretical problems is vital for the ultimate technological success of quantum computation.

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL English Swedish October 7, 2003 The quantum physics that controls the micro-world has a wide range of spectacular effects that do not normally occur in our ordinary macro-world. There are, however, certain situations in which quantum phenomena are visible. This year's Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded for work concerning two of these situations: superconductivity and superfluidity. Alexei Abrikosov and Vitaly Ginzburg have developed theories for superconductivity and Anthony Leggett has explained one type of superfluidity. Both superconductivity and superfluidity occur at very low temperatures. Flow without resistance An unexpected cold effect When investigations were first carried out into the nature of electricity in the 19th century, it was evident that metals and certain alloys conduct electricity by allowing electrons to move between the atoms. But the disorganised way in which the electrons move causes the atoms to vibrate, so heat is generated. If the current is too strong, the heat can be so great that the conductor melts. In addition it was found that an electric current through a conductor creates a magnetic field, which in turn generates current in the opposite direction. Electricity and magnetism interact and can thus counteract each other. In 1911 the Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes made a remarkable discovery. He was particularly interested in the properties of substances at low temperatures and had succeeded in producing liquid helium, which has an extremely low temperature. When Onnes investigated the electric conductivity of mercury, he found that when the metal was cooled by means of liquid helium to a few degrees above absolute zero, its electric resistance vanished. He named this phenomenon
