What If Canned Chicken Broth Is 2 Years Old

Reading the Complex

Prigogine (1997) states that all knowledge involves a building in the human sciences and that it is unacceptable the idea of \u200b\u200breality as given. For several hundred years - practically since the founding of physics by Galileo, Descartes and Newton - the idea of \u200b\u200bsimplicity, the search for a fundamental, stable through appearances, dominated the natural sciences.

However, recognizing the complexity, finding the tools to describe and make a new reading within this new context of the changing relationship between man and nature are the crucial issues of our time. The models adopted for the study of the natural world must necessarily present pluralistic nature that reflects the variety of phenomena we observe.

to classical physics, reversible and deterministic systems were the conceptual model for excellence. The triumph of the Newtonian East for several centuries the evolution of the scientific view, where the casual and irreversible were admitted only as exceptional cases introduced by humans in a simple nature, reversible and deterministic.

Today the situation has changed, especially after the occurrence of high-impact three corrections:

1) elementary particles have proved to be most unstable.
2) cosmology Contemporary leads to an array of structures, increasingly complex.
3) The traditional macroscopic phenomena studied in chemistry, biology and dynamics have changed their image. Everywhere we find the casual and irreversible.
