Uh, uh, now, eventually you
do plan to have d_nos_urs...
On yOUr, On yOUr
dinosaur tour, right ?
Hello ? H-Hello.
[ Exhales ]
Yes ?
l really hate that man.
[ Groans ]
See, the tyrannosaur, uh, uh,
doesn't obey any set patterns
or, or park schedules.
The essence, uh,
ofchaos.
Um, l'm still
not clear on chaos.
Wh-What does that mean ?
Oh, oh, it simply deals
with, uh, unpredictability
in complex systems.
The shorthand is
the, the Butter_y Effect.
A butter_y can flap
its wings in Peking,
and in Central Park
you get rain
instead ofsunshine.
l go too fast.
l did a fly-by.
Give me that glass ofwater.
We're going to conduct
an experiment.
lt should be still.
The car's bouncin' up
and down, but that's okay.
Now, put your hand flat
like a hieroglyphic.
Say a drop ofwater
falls on your hand.
Which way is the drop going
to fall om? Which finger ?
Thumb, l'd say.
Aha. Okay.
Now freeze your hand.
Don't move.
l'm going to do
the same thing, start
with the same place again.
Which way is it
going to roll off?
S-Same way.
Back the same way.
[ Gasps ]
It changed.
lt changed. Why ?
Because tiny variations:
uh, the orientation of
the hairs on your hands,
um, the amount of blood
distending your vessels,
imperfections in the skin--
lmperfections in the skin ?
And never repeat
and vastly affect
the outcome.
That's... what ?
Unpredictability.
[ Malcolm ]
Right.
There.
Look at this. See ?
l'm right again.
Nobody could've predicted
that Dr. Grant would suddenly,
suddenlyjump out
ofa moving vehicle.
Alan !
[ Chuckling ]
See, here l'm now by myself,
uh, er, talking to myself.
That's, that's
chaos theoy.
