Innovation on the Edge of Chaos:
From metaphor to physical principle and back again
Bruce Sawhill, ePluribus Research
with Jim Herriot
Dr. Bruce Sawhill will tell the story of chaos theory from the viewpoint of how the history of science influences and is influenced by the history of civilization and cannot be considered separately. In particular, why is chaos theory a relatively recent invention when in principle it could have been discovered in Newton's time? The implications for modern day personal and business life will be discussed.
Dr. Bruce Sawhill received his PhD in theoretical physics from Stanford University in 1985. After a postdoc at the Max Planck Institut in Munich, he settled at the Santa Fe Institute from 1991-97 to study chaos and complexity science. In 1997 he co-founded the Bios Group, a complexity science consulting group formed to apply cutting edge science to business problems. In 2002 he co-founded DayJet Corp., the world's first per-seat on-demand jet taxi service.
Bring your curiosity and see you there!
