The Chaos Theory

I was recently reading about the ” The Great wave of Kanagawa” , a wood print by one of the finest japanese artists in the early eightteenth century - Hokusai. Just search google and have a look at the painting. A first look at it may not reveal anything, but keep you eyes on the Wave and its surroundings; one would notice that Hokusai has tried to put more into a Wave than we can see. Physicists today talk of the Fractal Theory, where every end is a new beginning - totally unpredictable. A butterfly flapping its wings in China can cause a Tsunami in the Carribean. Thats the essence of the Fractal theory or otherwise known as “Chaos Theory”. If you look the way the ends of the wave have been drawn by Hokusai, you would observe that at each ending the wave splits into smaller waves drawing a new trajectory for themselves. Science has observed that this is the way our genes mutate, our universe functions. The stunning beauty of it all lies in the fact that though the ripple effect is chaoatic, but there is a order and balance at every moment. There is harmony at every step. As a famous Poet wrote a long time ago ” In balance with this life, this death”.

Kamal hasan had recently brought this idea out in his film ” Dasavatharam”, where he traces a sequence of events thats span the globe beginning with a forced immersion of an Idol of God, which resurfaces eight centuries later averting a calamity that would have destroyed mankind.

Religions in its true form have always spoken about the interconnection of of the Universe. The Ying and the Yang. ” Not even a blade of grass moves without the will of God”. Thats the true meaning of destiny. The chaos and the order of life. Living in the moment means - merge into the order of the moment and embrace the chaos that is to follow. That way Life is a depiction of the “Great Wave” .

Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
