This agreement provides strong confirmation of the fundamental idea that structure developed from the growth of initially tiny fluctuations through gravitational attraction. (sciencedaily.com)
Tiny fluctuations in this broth — likely arising from quantum effects — resulted in some regions having more matter than the rest. (sciencemag.org)
Chaos theory, the study of how tiny fluctuations can have tremendous effects within a moving system, emerged in mainstream physics about 30 years ago. (discovermagazine.com)
