Chaos

Recently I had the fortune of getting my hands on a copy of "CHAOS" by James Gleick. Reading it opened up a whole new horizon in my search for pure science. Since childhood, I've been facinated by various aspects of Science, particularly the many facets that physics offered, be it the infinite realm of Astrononmy or the infinitesimal one of the atomic structure, they have all been objects of my attention. Till recently I was completely ignorant of the beautiful world of chaos, the purest union of mathematics and physics, which I must say had many purists calling for blood. The book artistically develops various aspects of Chaos, and creates a beautiful landscape of the chronology of the developments which have led to the creation of chaos theory as we know it today. The compounding effect of the slightest disturbance is one which truly wakes on up...and rather rudely, I must add. Ever since I've read this, I've started questioning everyone of my actions, like, should I switch of the light, should I watch television...and also, should I update my blog :)...
