The Chaos theory is a field in mathematics theory, which studies the behaviour of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, an effect which is popularly referred to as the butterfly effect. Language: English Released: 1950. The article will appear in the magazine's . Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, formulated by the theoretical physicist in 1927, is one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics. Publisher: Oxford University Press: 1950 2nd ed. To a single (hypothetical) principle so that every successful explanation offered a higher order of probability to the hypothesis. Christiaan Huygens fueled the Scientific Revolution with his wide-ranging scientific contributions, from astronomical observations to theories of mechanical physics. Huy-gens's principle posits the existence of two "wave fronts," one primary and one secondary, which accounted for both reflection and refraction of light. Introduces classical concepts of geometrical and physical optics with rigorous connections to fundamental theories of light--Fermat's principle, Huygen's principle, and Maxwell's equations. Geophysicists (and most other physicists) know him for his work on wave theory, which prevailed over Newton's corpuscles—at least until quantum theory. It still wouldn't mean that OTCs exist, but it would mean the mathematical model of an OTC would be a valid representation of a physical reality (gravity). GO THE MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF HUYGEN'S PRINCIPLE. In the field of mathematics and physics, Huygens wrote several publications on probability theory, worked on the law of motion, and became well known for his wave theory of light from 1678. His first book, The Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable (1935) was immediately successful. Descartes prescribed what the telescope should be according to mathematical theory. Since the time of Newton & Huygens physicists have been arguing over the wave-particle thing. He was a co-author for his next book, The Mathematical Theory of Huygens' Principle (1939).

The field, which applies mathematical principles similar to those in Einstein's theory of general relativity, will be described in an article to be published Friday (Oct. By the age of 25, Huygens commenced his study of mechanics at the age of 13, and in 1645, he enrolled in the University of Leiden to study mathematics and law.
