Chaos theory is real science.

It's not "real" medicine however...at least not real *Western* medicine.
Perhaps the holistic folks who treat psychosomatic diseases delve into
the
realm of chaos theory and its application to medicine...but not
dentists...and not reputable physicians.

It appears that NOBBY doesn't know what chaos theory is, but he feels
qualified to comment on it... actually not a surprise here. He does that
a lot.

Somebody should explain to the boy that chaos theory is a complex set of
mathematical theorems which replace statistics & some types of calculus
in the analysis of large fields of data.

.....and that complex systems are those in which it's difficult, if not
impossible to accurately determine cause and effect. The weather is one such
system, as well as research into causes of specific cancers. Social
scientists feel that large populations also fall into this category.
