A description of ‘Chaos Theory’ by Grok is as below.

“Chaos Theory studies complex systems where small changes in initial conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes, often called the "butterfly” effect. It explores unpredictable, non-linear behavior in deterministic systems like weather, fluid dynamics, or populations. Though seemingly random, chaotic systems follow underlying patterns and rules, sensitive to tiny perturbations.”

In this episode, I discuss the book “Chaos: Making a New Science” by James Gleick with Jaisal Singh Chauhan who works as a consultant at Infosys.

Being a curious child, Jaisal read this book when he was in 6th grade. Later he re-read the book during 11th grade. He continues to revisit the book even today.

In this episode we discuss chaos theory in the context of Delhi’s pollution, relationships, our understanding of the universe and growth of a tree.

Fundamentally our attempt to understand ‘unknown’ unknowns is encapsulated by Chaos Theory. James Gleick captures this spirit through his book.

And we scratch the surface of the book’s contents during the course of our conversation. We hope that it piques your interest and motivates you to read the book.
