Genetically Engineered Chaos Theory

Park 'Nature won't be stopped... or blamed for
what happens' (Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park by
Michael Crichton). Jurassic Park mystifies its

finally takes the blame. Near the end of the book,
while the humans are fighting off the
velociraptors, Malcolm (the mathematician)
delivers a long and didactic speech about how
science is to blame for messing up th...

Britain. Just representing the feats of Britain
