The rationality of luck -- chaos, randomness and information: Chew Lock Yue at TEDxNTU 

As we face the world of uncertainty every day, we hope for the best outcome, i.e. we hope to be lucky. But could we rationalize luck? This talk is on the human endeavour to rationalize luck by quantifying it, and to use information to take advantage of it, especially on a type of deterministic system that exhibits randomness via chaos.
Lock Yue is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Physics and Applied Physics, School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
