Butterfly's Desavathara movie

                 Kamal Haasan's Dasavathaaram movie was released when I was in 7th standard. I watched that movie with scientific curiosity, but when I got to the degree level, Dr Sharmila teacher introduced another subtle and beautiful aspect of Dasavatara. Later, when I saw the movie, I could see that Kamal Haasan has used physics beautifully in it. In the beginning of the film is starting from Govind's(Scientist Kamal hassan) speech in that he was saying the 12th-century Rangarajanambi (old Kamala Haasan) and Vishnu idol placed in the sea are related to the 2004 tsunami, He is connecting two entirely different events using chaos theory. **What is chaos theory?*** Although it can be quickly said that Behind every complexity there is a symmetry, Lorentz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Norton_Lorenz) introduces chaos theory using the butterfly effect. The butterfly effect is that, the flapping of a butterfly's wings can turn into a huge...

Ohm's law and life.. Some stupid thoughts

Ohm's law is very simple, the current flowing through a conductor at a given temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference across it. How much electricity passes depends on the resistance of the conductor. Now let's come to the matter of the human beings and life, every conductor is like every human being, the temperature is like their situation. Depending on the circumstance, external pressure is their driving force(let's call it as potential drive). Which means, we can be influenced by the pressure from others. But how effective it will be, depends on our resistance.  For example.... Some people can be influenced very easily from external pressure and they are good conductors. Some people can't be influenced no matter how much others would say, they are very good insulators. Philosophically, we can quixotically say like this. But the reality is entirely different. Ohms law is not a universal law so you can't apply it to many people. That is, we ...
