Dr Seuss Party Invite
Paul Delille and chaos in Argentina
A fantastic example of chaos theory was verified in the early 1950's through the work of French researcher and Professor Paul Felix Armand-Delille.
Delille was a famous scientist born in 1874, with a distinguished career that took him to be a member of the French Academy of Sciences and a member of the Legion of Honor.
facts suggest it as a character in this post are not related to their research work, but something that occurred well after each meeting.
Delille was a property of some length in the north-central France. It was, like many European lands, a certain population of rabbits. This animal had become a pest in parts of the continent, and Delille read that Australia had achieved control over certain virus inoculation: the myxomatosis.
Determined to eliminate the rabbits on their property, it was decided to experiment by inoculating rabbits with only two people of the same, with a strain of the virus that managed to get through completely legal means. Delille expected that any effect on the population would be confined within its grounds, which had certain characteristics of confinement.
The success was complete: almost the entire population of rabbits died within about 6 weeks into the experiment.
The problem came later, about four months later.
A rabbit was found dead victim of the virus to a very considerable distance from their property.
The estimate, within a year of beginning of the experiment was that 45% of the total population of wild rabbits, and 35% of household had died a victim of the virus.
Within four years following rabbit populations in Spain, France, Holland, Belgium, Britain and Belgium had almost disappeared .
Myxomatosis was infected by blood-sucking arthropods, and the strain chosen by Delille was obviously a very toxic capacity greater than that used in Australia.
Strictly speaking, another disease contributed to the massacre: the hemorragicovírica was especially lethal pneumonia in Spain, "acting" in coordination with myxomatosis (an attack in winter, the other in summer.)
Obviously, Delille met its goal of eradicating the pest in its field. The side effect was nothing less the almost total elimination of the rabbit population by more than half of Europe, with side as the near extinction of imperial eagles and lynx .
Chaos theory is certainly very complex from a mathematical point of view, but there are simple explanations that are readily available for people without technical training.
chaotic models are, in short, as simple as the everyday, and as complex as attempts to model them mathematically.
But what is clear is that the Chaos, along with the famous law of "action and reaction", can work together with sometimes unfortunate results.
Delille "action" and had the "reaction" question. The same, by the grace of the unpredictability of the many variables in real life, was amplified getting to become a waterfall that ruined the ecology of a vast territory.
The French government honored Delille, who became a god of French farmers.
His action, I think, was one of the most irresponsible acts of a single man against nature.
And keep in mind that this was in 1952, long before technology put in the hands of scientists (in our hands) ways to enhance the efficiency of the annihilation techniques.
