S ome blogs ago, we looked at differential equations. And as we know by now, we use DEs to make assumptions about a rate of change. In a way, we try to predict the future. However, thanks to physics, this is only possible to a certain extent. After all, if it were possible, people would have already won in the lottery, and psychohistory would have been a real science. But why is that? Why can we predict only to a certain point, and then that’s it? It is like god (or whatever you want to call him/her/it) is telling us, ‘look, up until here and no further”. Of course, some genius minds have already asked this question and hence came up with a theory that tries to explain this phenomenon. It is called the chaos theory. I think the best way to tackle the topic of Chaos Theory is by rephrasing the question of this blog: What is the Butterfly Effect? Sounds more familiar, doesn’t it? It should because there are multiple dozens of films based on it. All of them are based on the same prominent
