Sometimes I wish I was a genius, being able to understand all the complexities of science and be able to know why such and such occurs. The universe is an utterly amazing treasure, a place where nature continues to astound us with it's unpredictability. I watched a rather intriguing documentary on SBS tonight, talking about how small atoms can make such complicated things. Naturally, it was a physicist who presented this program, who delved into chaos theory and the butterfly effect. From the mere hour I watched it, I was unable to comprehend what it all meant properly but this was applied to how things were arranged in the world. And then evolution. What an amazing feat. Mathematical equations were plugged into a computer with simulations mimicking the processes of evolution, how natural selection has shaped humans today. It all comes down to something to do with chaos, how orderly yet drastically chaotic our universe is made.
I suppose I am not making any sense here because I myself don't really totally understand such complex physics but times like this, when the universe's intricacies are so intriguing, I just wish I had the genius.

Do you remember the doco name?
ReplyDeleteThe secret life of chaos.
ReplyDeleteAw man, I wish I understood the physics behind the chaos theory. It's really interesting stuff (Says the one who isn't even doing anything science related).
ReplyDeleteWould you consider doing another bachelor of science?
ReplyDeletewhenever im exposed to physics, i just want to do a plain science bacherlor and major in physics. this stuff is so amazing...and incredible.
i wish i understood it properly too. ahhh to have a genius' brain.
