Chaos (derived from the Ancient Greek Χάος, Chaos) typically means a state lacking order or predictability. In ancient Greece, it meant the initial state of the universe, and, by extension, space, darkness, or an abyss (the antithetical concept was cosmos). In modern English, it is used in classical studies with this original meaning; in mathematics and science to refer to a very specific kind of unpredictability; and informally to mean a state of confusion. In popular culture, the word can occur with all three meanings.

What is the difference between random and chaos?
Q. I understand that random relates to a situation where you have a number of possible outcomes which can not be specifically predicted beforehand - such as rolling a dice. That's not really what I'm wondering about. What I'm wondering is how random and chaos factor into things like the formation of a solar system. Are they both factors; is one a subset of the other? Is there another word/concept that would be better suited to something so large and complex?

A. Words like random and chaos are often used to represent activity in a closed or limited system. The decay of radioactive atoms is, for example, random when looking at a few atoms. But it is often the case that in larger aggregates, these apparently random actions 'average' into a very precisely predictable outcome. And so, while at the smallest scale, we cannot use cause and effect reasoning, on a larger sale, we can do that with great reliability. The case of the formation of the solar system is an excellent example of a situation where, while there are many dimensions of random actions: random particle temperatures, random particle motion - we can treat the entire system as a very stable and predictable distribution of mass and energy.… [cont.]

What is your perception on the world's chaos and religion?
Q. Our world is, and well always has been in chaos, disaster, wars, genocide, inequality, econimic collapse, and now envirnotmental crisis, as well as other countless problems.

Thank you for sharing your views.

A. well religion is one of the main causes of chaos. in country's like bosnia,albania and serbia religions like Catholicism,protestant and islam fight all the time,people murder each other cause they think there god's right. just like the muslim fundamentalists that live in the middle east they suicide bomb themselves because they think there doing god a great deed killing "nonbelievers" and they think they'll enter paradise. religious texts like the bible,the koran and many others say to kill the unbelievers and heathens,some people take that literally. so the god theory is a Huge reason why there are murders,genocide,inequali ty and war. and the economic crisis is the same think,in america they build churches instead of schools in some… [cont.]
