Computers can compete at chess because the board's options are limited. When chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov faced off IBM'S Deep Blue, the machine won. That upset a lot of people. I'm real good at that. Look at my desk.
Some people say a cluttered desk is a sign of a creative mind.
People look at my desk and say I must be very creative. But where others see chaos, I see order. Today's scientists think about chaos the way Einstein thought about relativity. In simplest terms, chaos theory tries to appreciate just how much the universe is a vast, disorderly place, where here and there sheer probability has caused disorder to give way to a quite lovely and wondrous order. On at least one lovely planet, our own, it has created the human brain.
