How do scientists look at chance, or randomness, and chaos in physical systems? In this study, David Ruelle explores game theory, probability, classical chaos and quantum uncertainty among many other topics.

Ruelle applies this insight to the understanding of turbulence, "strange attractors", entropy, black holes, information and intelligence.
