Ground Control to Niels Bohr: Exploring Outer Space with AtomicPhysics
Mason A. Porter and Predrag Cvitanovic
The
motion of bodies in space--such as comets, asteroids,
andspacecraft--follow chaotic trajectories, as do excited electrons.
The authorsdiscuss how the mathematical connections between these
different scale, butotherwise related, nonlinear dynamical systems are
helping astrophysics andchemistry.
