How a butterfly's wing can bring down Goliath: chaos theories calculate the vulnerability of megasystems

"The massive power failure on the East Coast illustrates the risk of building ever-larger power networks to transmit electricity, experts said Thursday. When a system becomes extremely complex, a normally survivable event ... can trigger what scientists call a devastating domino effect" (1...
