Abstract
Nature offers a tremendous amount of extremely complicated problems which cannot easily be rationalized and resolved. Probably one has to accept that there are scientific and technological problems too complex to be directly rationalized by humans. A well-known example is the non-periodical movement of many gravitationally interacting bodies in space. Since we are not able to imagine their motions with a sufficient degree of perfection, we call it “chaos”. Unfortunately, humans obviously have significant intellectual difficulties to find theoretical descriptions or models for phenomena which they do not comprehend.
