Summary
As the human being started his journey to discover the world, he tried to comprehend the universe by categorizing knowledge into various disciplines, which leads to ending up in the constant expansion of specialization. Although scientific research enormously revolutionized human insight toward his surrounding environment, it remained insufficient to address complex problems. Transdisciplinary is a problem-oriented strategy that systematically integrates knowledge and experience from various scientific and social partners to solve real-life situations.
The Butterfly effect Physics science and handicrafts [Adapted with permission from the Association of Science and Art (ASA), USERN; Artist: Sepideh Sargoli, Method: resin art and brass].
Butterfly effect is the name of a phenomenon that occurs due to the sensitivity of turbulent systems to the initial conditions. The propeller effect means that a slight change in initial conditions can lead to far-reaching and unpredictable results in system outputs, and this is the cornerstone of chaos theory. In the theory of chaos or disorder, it is believed that in all phenomena, there are points at which a small change will cause great changes.
