SYNERGETICS: ADDITION OR BASIS IN GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES OF FUTURE?

Gravimetric Expedition no.3, Krasnoyarsk, Russia

Science is characterized by two aspirations: to explain the structure of the world using simple mechanisms and to describe it mathematically. Solving the problem in the first and second cases is complicated by the incompleteness of our knowledge of the natural processes and the apparent complexity of numerous interactions in the real world objects. C lassic science operates most simple dependences and principles, using a deterministic approach. Synergetics tries to present the dynamics of the material world as the evolution of complex self-organizing systems. Ideas of synergetic are used in the study of geological processes. The ambiguity of using this approach in geological sciences is shown. Examples illustrating the successful resolution of various problems without recourse to the ideas of synergy.

Keywords: synergetics, geology, geodynamics, gravitation, planet evolution, determinism.
