De wetten van toeval en chaos: kleine oorzaken en grote gevolgen in de moderne natuurwetenschappenDe mathematisch fysicus DAVID RUELLE bedacht samen met onze landgenoot Floris Takens het woord strange attraetor om het gedrag te beschrijven van fysische systemen die een extreme gevoeligheid vertonen voor kleine verstoringen. De atmosfeer is daarvan het voorbeeld par excellence; het chaotische karakter ervan brengt met zich mee dat gedetailleerde lange termijnweersvoorspellingen principieel onmogelijk zijn.

De mathematisch-fysicus DAVID RUELLE bedacht samen met onze landgenoot Floris Takens het woord strange attraetor om het gedrag te beschrijven van fysische systemen die een extreme gevoeligheid vertonen voor kleine verstoringen. De atmosfeer is daarvan het voorbeeld par excellence; het chaotische karakter ervan brengt met zich mee dat gedetailleerde lange-termijnweersvoorspellingen principieel onmogelijk zijn. De vreemde aantrekkers van zulke chaotische systemen hebben meestal de structuur van een fractal, en die fractals weerspiegelen dan toch ook weer een zekere mate van orde die er in die chaos heerst.

DAVID RUELLE is geen wetenschapsjournalist, maar een onderzoeker die direct betrokken was bij wat James Gleick de chaosrevolutie heeft genoemd, de nieuwe manier van denken over toeval en voorspelbaarheid die de afgelopen decennia de natuurwetenschappen is gaan beheersen. In een zeer toegankelijk geschreven serie van 26 korte hoofdstukken zonder technische formules of ondoordringbaar vakjargon voert hij de lezer mee op een ontdekkingstocht langs zulke uiteenlopende zaken als kans, toeval, loterijen en horoscopen, entropie, algoritmische complexiteit, zwarte gaten, de stelling van Godel, economische voorspellingen, hydrodynamische turbulenties en de ware bedoelingen van de seksualiteit. Wie hem op zijn tocht volgt, verwerft nieuwe inzichten in het fascinerende gedachtegoed van de moderne natuurwetenschappen.

Sturdy, works great, not quite perfect.
Color: silver
This was the perfect stand to use when my desktop computer crashed and I had to work on my laptop without killing my neck. It's sturdy, well made, and works exactly as advertised. Adjustment is smooth and simple. I was able to work with my monitor at a comfortable height and distance, and it saved my bacon! But, would I want to work on it indefinitely? No. Two things are lacking for me. First, there's a height adjustment, but no angle control. This means that at its max height, the display has a small downward tilt. It also means that on zoom calls, I had to fiddle with the monitor height until my whole head was framed, rather than cut off. Not a dealbreaker, but annoying over the long term, especially with lots of zoom meetings. Second, I'm not sure why I was surprised, but the stand-plus-laptop combo created a kind of aluminum "monolith" on my desktop. I couldn't bend to peer under it, or over it either. It felt as though part of my desk (albeit a narrow portion) became inaccessible. This too is a quibble--I just happen to like a more open and airy feeling. These two nits aside, this is a sturdy and well designed stand that works well and will last a long time.

Replacement stickers are on the way!!
Color: silver, Color: silver
Edit: Customer service was lovely and I have replacement stickers on the way. This fabulous product has helped me so much and I can't be without it. Back up to a 5 star review. I purchased this product in April 2024. The stickers that help the laptop 'grab' onto the stand are either gone or unstable. See picture below. Can it be repaired with new stickers? How do I get them?

Sixty Bucks? Yep. And I'd buy another one.
Color: silver
OK, I had my doubts. Yes, the iLevel2 is highly-reviewed. And yes, it's really (really) important to have your laptop screen at eye level (get it? iLevel?) But spending 60 dollars on an adjustable laptop stand? Couldn't I just pile up a couple of old books for free? Well, as a contractor once told me when I made a really dumb suggestion, "You COULD do it that way..." The iLevel2's main virtue is that the angle/height adjustment knob is rock-solid, as is the platform. It's just an extremely well-made, solid product. And the adjustment knob, which is on a left-right track on the front of the product, allows you to dial in your laptop's screen height to the millimeter. Result: a totally-custom, ergonomically-friendly setup. Love it.

Underwhelming
Color: silver
Too much hype. It just holds the laptop. Buy something cheaper. The slide adjuster isn’t useful to me at all.

Useful but not perfect
Color: silver
Useful, but typing with laptop perched on it is unsteady. I use a separate keyboard.
