Chaos theory!

As another day at office draws to an end, just thought i'd jot down some of the intersting stuff I went thru' today!

For starters, was reading about the Chaos theory and its roots.. Was intrigued by the very origin of this theory as well as some of the ideas stated in it. An example would be the Butterfly Effect:

"The flapping of a single butterfly's wing today produces a tiny change in the state of the atmosphere. Over a period of time, what the atmosphere actually does diverges from what it would have done. So, in a month's time, a tornado that would have devastated the Indonesian coast doesn't happen. Or maybe one that wasn't going to happen, does. "
(Ian Stewart, Does God Play Dice? The Mathematics of Chaos, pg. 141)

I picked up this info from Greg Rae's work which is available online:

Shall try to do some more research on this theory as well as the Fractal Theory tomorrow.

There's a treasure hunt lined up in office tomorrow!! It should be fun running around all the buildings in campus! Hope we don't get lost anywhere!

Listened to a lot of Led-Zep after a long time today! Was reminded of the times in college when I used to play their songs everyday! Have become a regular listener of Radio City nowadays. Dont think I've ever heard so much of Hindi music non-stop in my life.

Signing off for the day!
