Turbulence

It’s interesting that a science of turbulence, Chaos Theory, has arisen in the course of one of the most turbulent ages in history — what we have taken to calling “the post-modern”. Although the term “post-modern” only came into self-conscious use apparently around 1973, we have been hurled into the post-modern condition since the First World War shattered the dreams of, and prospects for, an Age of Reason and the ideal of “universal reason”.
