Arrived on 27th from Bhilai … attended a lec on chaos theory by Prof. G. Rangarajan of the Dept. of Mathematics at IISc, Bangalore. Cud make sense of most of the things tht he spoke, at the end of the lec, he discussed on the phenomenon of mass extinction of species. It says that the rate of growth of a species population in one geographical region is coupled to that in another geographical region … and if the individuals belonging to same species compete wd each other, than a slight perturbance in d equation (in form of some calamity) leads to a synchronicity between the growth rates of the species in different regions and thereafter mass extinction takes place.
On the other hand, if the individuals of the same species cooperate wd each other, synchronicity isn’t achieved and rescue effect comes into play and the species does surrive in certain pockets of the planet, and then it can again prosper. For more of the mathematics part of it, see this.
This led me to think on how even such higher and deep mathematics also say the same thing as what common sense says. If only, common sense wud have been so common
