Mario MarkusPhysicist

Max-Planck-Institut für molekulare Physiologie, Dortmund, Germany. E-mail: <markus@mpi-dortmund.mpg.de>


The author provides an ac-count of his everyday experience as a physicist, which allows him to witness research on chaos as a science of convergence: the elite with the masses, the scientific dis-ciplines with each other, modern physics with Giordano Bruno's phi-losophy, and science with mysti-cism and art. He also outlines how chaos theory displays postmodern features and dissolves the bound-aries between the "two cultures.".
