Patterns.

Well this is one of my pet topics. Well I am believer in Chaos theory. It is one of most beautiful concepts to have evolved in recent times. The beauty of the theory is in its underlying simplicity .
Well basically what it says is that there is a pattern in chaos. Well so where is this pattern found according to this theory.
Let us see some of the cases. One is the snowflake size. according to this there is a definite pattern. Then were the population growth of a species. Oh yes someone somewhere did a study on this and came up with a second degree equation for this. Meaning he modelled the population growth on that equation.
To say the very least Still The Fluid Flow mechanics still relies heavily on Landaus Experiment. I do hereby say that my knowledge of FD is criminally limited. Would try to make it better sometime when I am free.
Well any mention of chaos theory is incomplete without Saying atleast the name of Manderbolt. He is considered one of the founders of this theory. He used to work with IBM around 70's thats where he got the required computing power from. Well the fact is the chaos theory could be applied to a lot of areas. eg even the growth of leaves there internodal distance etc or even human height. Just like the Superstring theory which if is it is true this would go a long way in explaining many things to us.
