Pella started as a massive shape separated itself from behind the hanging.

that raises a profound mystery: Scientists have long been baffled by the existence of spontaneous order in the universe. The laws of thermodynamics seem to dictate the opposite, that nature should inexorably degenerate toward a state of greater disorder, greater entropy. Yet all around us we see magnificent structures—galaxies, cells, ecosystems, human beings—that have somehow managed to assemble themselves.

Whenever the whole is different from the sum of the parts—whenever there's cooperation or competition going on—the governing equations must be nonlinear.

When a guitar string is plucked or when children jiggle a jump rope, the shape that appears is a sine wave. The ripples on a pond, the ridges of sand dunes, the stripes of a zebra—all are manifestations of nature's most basic mechanism of pattern formation: the emergence of sinusoidal structure from a background of bland uniformity.

Emergent properties can seem magical because they do not seem to arise from the component parts of a structure.

I need not to show you the incapacity to predict in deterministic chaotic systems is emphatically not the same as the failure to prestate or predict Darwinian preadaptations. in the deterministic chaotic case, we know beforehand the state space of the system, in the simplest case, three continuous variables and their ranges. But in sharp contrast, we do not know beforehand the state space, or sample space, of the evolving biosphere and the emergence in the nonergodic universe of swim bladders.

a time when many great thinkers and philosophers emerged, all writing and debating their ideas. Most interestingly, people actually liked to listen to them! These scholars were also teachers or gurus and had schools called ashramas or gurukulas, where they taught students. Towns even had special assembly halls for debates called kautuhala shalas, that is, halls for arousing curiosity!
