Hi all,
Ever wondered what the Movie "Butterfly Effect" was all about? What is the famous Butterfly Effect, Golu was so excited about?
Ever wondered why scientists fail to accurately predict weather even in this modern age where they can get all sort of data? After all, all the physical equations governing the movement of air particles are known.
Great mathematician Laplace, excited by phenomenal sucess of Newton's Laws, said that (in 1776) "given the initial position and velocity of each particle in the universe, a mathematician could predict the past and future of universe". Apply this to human nature and it says that everything you do can be determined. Free will simply doesnt exist. What do you think?
Ever wondered why the population of these insects suddenly decreases and again becomes thousand times? From where do these grasshoppers come who eat away thousands of acres of fields and then disappear? How much pesticide to use against them?
Answers to all these questions is "chaos". And what is this chaos? Lets gather a night and I will introduce you all to this burning hot topic. This is area that touches almost all desciplines.... electrical, computer science, chemical, biology, philosophy and its heart lies in physics. I seriously plan to do a semester project next sem on it, preferably an interdesciplinary project. So you all are invited.
