Based on a true story, a captivating tale of passionate love and violent death in 1850s Dorset.<\/p>\n

In 1856, Martha Brown was hanged for the murder of her husband. Among those who witnessed her death was a sixteen-year-old local lad, and the memory of her execution haunted him for the rest of his life. Writing many years later, he said: \u2018I remember what a fine figure she showed against the sky as she hung in the misty rain, and how the tight black silk gown set off her shape as she wheeled half-round and back.\u2019 The writer was Thomas Hardy.<\/p>\n

Martha Brown, one of a large family, was an ordinary woman of humble parentage, her father an itinerant dairyman. Very little is known about her tragic life, and she remains tantalising and elusive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

System Theory Physics<\/strong><\/div>\n
For centuries, scientific thought was focused on bringing order to the natural world. But even as relativity and quantum mechanics undermined that rigid certainty in the first half of the twentieth century, the scientific community clung to the idea that any system, no matter how complex, could be reduced to a simple pattern. In the 1960s, a small group of radical thinkers began to take that notion apart, placing new importance on the tiny experimental irregularities that scientists had long learned to ignore. Miniscule differences in data, they said, would eventually produce massive ones\u2014and complex systems like the weather, economics, and human behavior suddenly became clearer and more beautiful than they had ever been before.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
