Hi Bert;

Ok .. I'll admit right upfront, that I'm pushing my limits on this topic.

From reading the article, these guys seem to be saying:

Quote:
"Technically, we have established the conditions under which the indicators of chaos are relativistic invariants," Motter said. "Our mathematical characterization also explains existing controversial results. They were generated by singularities induced by the choice of the time coordinate, which are not present for physically admissible observables."
From this, should one conclude that they have given Chaos Theory in Cosmology the 'green' light, in so far as to explain a possible initial behaviour state of the universe, thereby dissolving previous barriers?

Wiki also says:

Quote:
Recently, another field, called relativistic chaos has emerged to describe systems that follow the laws of general relativity.
The motion of N stars in response to their self-gravity (the gravitational N-body problem) is generically chaotic.
I'll now be completely honest in asking a question for which I have no clue as to what the answer might be (and I'm not even sure I'll understand the answer to it):
Would the "non linear systems oscillations spontaneously surfac(ing) as quasi stable complicated states" prevent the application of Chaos Theory contributing to the theoretical explanation of the Universe's initial states, (post Big Bang), and possibility also contributing to the explanation of parts of post BB evolution ?

Cheers & Thanks for the feedback.
