3Lighthill J.Proc.R.Soc.Lond.A,1986,407:35.道歉内容原文照录如下:Here I have to pause and speak once again on the behalf of the broad global fraternity of practitioners of mechanics.We are deeply conscious today that the enthusiasm of the forebears for the marvelous achievements of Newtonian mechanics led them to make generalizations in this area of predictability which,indeed,we may have generally tended to believe before1960,but which we now recognize to be false.We collectively whish to apologize for having mislead the general educated public by spreading ideas about the determinism of systems satisfying Newton's laws of motion that,after1960,were to be proved incorrect.
