Think Before Walking Out Of The Shower - Chaos Theory

Chaos theory stress on 2 things - initial conditions and the butterfly effect. It is extended in scale by fractal geometry, so as to apply changes in the micro-environment to the macro-environment.

 

Consider the following thought experiment. An absent-minded professor lives on the 5th floor of an apartment block. There lives a rather attractive lady in the adjacent apartment block, on the same floor, with an open window facing the professor's apartment block. One fine day, when the aforementioned lady is standing near her window, the nutty professor emerges from his bathroom butt-naked.

 

The lady near the window takes offense to this, not knowing that our professor in question, innocuosly forgot to put on his bathrobe (just like Achimedes did) !

 

The lady gets hysterical and launches a hashtag on Twitter #dontdropyourpants which goes viral. The issue gets escalated to Parliament. A law is passed that flashing is a cardinal sin, and the Professor has to serve time in prison.

 

This leads to "a spike in the sale of BATH TOWELS !" :-)

 

Do you agree that this is one of the raunchy aspects of chaos theory ?  :vava:
