Now some questions that should be answered by chaos researchers:
Fractals are structurs that show self-similarity on a reasonable range of scales. You can find such structures in nature, e.g. dendrites (lightnings, trees, river systems, etc.). Which non-dendritic, but self-similar structures can be found in nature?
The Lyapunov-Exponent of a system with chaotic dynamics is:
<0
=0
>0
The Lyapunov-Exponent of a system with a limit cycle (=stable periodic behaviour) is:
<0
=0
>0
The Lyapunov-Exponent of a system with a stable fixed point is:
<0
=0
>0
