Chaos theory and general relativity


Recommended Posts

I recommend reading the lectures I posted on GR

I don't believe there is an obvious direct connection, but there are sure to be some subtle connections worth exploring. This would be a bit above the undergraduate level, as both topics pretty much graduate work... but give it a go.

Well, not really, as chaos theory is a mathematical explanation for minor deviations in starting conditions causing large changes, and general relativity is about space/time curvature :|

 

Alot of GR rests on particle motions (i.e. the geodesic postulate); which are subject to effect of the chaos theory.
