Chaos

IS DISTRACTION TOTALLY UNNECESSARY ? This is one of the question that has haunted me for years. The little imperfectness that we have in a otherwise perfect life , does it make our life worse?
Well, the name of my blog literally translates to randomness.So it is evident that I like imperfection, rather I celebrate it.

 Let's take music for example. They used to play guitars with sweet melodious sound. But with the birth of electric guitar a revolution took place .The revolution named distortion .They said it is the sound guitar makes when it is damaged or not played properly about what will be the music of  near future .In 1960s some musician started using it intentionally .Rest ,as you know, is history,
"


Now distortion is a way of life in music. You cannot even think of any genre/ sub-genre of rock without distortion.
                                                        
 Wait ,you did not think that music is the only example I have in my mind.If you did then you will be wrong .Have you ever taken a blurry picture and thought "Shit man!! What the hell am I gonna do with this ?".They said blurs are bad . We all rejected blurry pictures.But if you think about it as an element of the picture, then everything changes magically. You realize it is the missing link between a static image and motion.

the break amidst randomness 
I wonder how such unwanted things can convey so much information.It again provokes the question who decides what is perfect and what is not? Who judges the criteria of wanted and unwanted ? Are you watching closely,Close enough to discard the randomness of life as unwanted things?

Fractals!!!!

Now this is physics.We all know we always try to explain nature by simple modelings.To describe natural things we use euclidean objects like Sphere,Circles or Squares.The question here is why? Nature is never so simple(??I have a doubt on the term simple, so do many Scientists ).
Suppose it is your duty to measure the boarder between India and Pakistan.You took a scale of say 20 meter and measured it.You find the length to be X.Now your friend from Pakistan got the same job and whooala he found the length to be Y.Is he cheating? Obviously not .The reason is obviously he is using different scale.It is quite obvious that when keep on decreasing  the length of the scale the total length will increase infinitely because if you keep on decreasing the scale you will  have to take care of every finite details .Is not this like a breaking of curve into self repeating structure? Yes they are fractals.(Btw if it was for a perfect circle or square it would have converge to a certain length)
I don't have any intention to turn this page to a physics book,so I will show you the pictures :)
The basic structure is a Koch Curve .It is funny curve.It is continuous every where and differentiable no where.This how you make it


This was the basic Koch curve. Now I will show you many such curves which actually resembles natural things like mountain,turbulence,galaxy clusters and if we plot on a time scale the evolution too.

Cantor Cube





  Is not it amazing all this beautiful structures forms only with some vary basic self repeating structure as in the first graph?The fractals also leads to a confirmation of the fact that nature is Self Organized.I wrote this article because I am too much obsessed with fractals right now.I should tag this as art rather than tagging it as science(:P)
