Lorenz is often confused in the minds of uninformed idiots of being
the originator of the idea of mathematical "chaos."

It was Poincare who discovered the mathematical properties of what
we now call "chaos" or the sensitivity to initial conditions.  In fact,
if it had not been for the original work of Poincare then Lorenz would
not have had a ready-made theoretical framework to easily exploit.

Sam Probability can be used for predicting winning horse race.Tri-fectors I play well using it.Good science gives you a hedge. Also Treb helps,but not often. I got to love gambling I blame Treb. TreBert

Sam, probability predicts winners in horse races and also is what 
determines outcomes in Quantum Mechanics. You probably never thought of 
this but imperial thinkers know that just as the Wavefunctions of QM 
create reality, the equations of statistical mechanics operate on the 
horses and create the outcome of the races. This is Modern Physics. Get 
the picture?

Since Bert isn't quite sure which horse will win the race, it falls 
under the Uncertainty Principle. Obviously

Here is what helps in picking horses.#1 Speed rating #2 Jokey #3 age #4 Weight #5 male or female #6 looks.Add these up for three horses,and parley a tri-fectors.You probably will win,put not always. TreBert

   I'm glad you are making more money on the horses than you are losing
   on the horses, reber. You know how to pick the winners. That's a given

See? And you people all thought that Bert didn't know physics.

But by using the Uncertainty Principle and assigning probabilities based 
on data including the horse's sex and looks, you can (probably)
win at the track.

Hint: If you ever see a horse named Pauli, bet it.



"Horse was in a race. He could win, show or place. He came in first, 
from out of thirst to go".

(Prize goes to the one who can name this song without looking it up)
