Explain the significance of the Catastrophe theory as a way of understanding the parallel worlds in the chapter. (The Adventure)
Answer as written by the student:
The Catastrophe theory is a way of understanding the parallel worlds in the chapter, as it explains how small changes in the parameters of a system can lead to sudden and large changes in the behaviour of the system. In the chapter, the Battle of Panipat is the point of bifurcation, where the outcome of the battle determines the course of history. If the Marathas had won the battle, the British would not have been able to establish their rule in India, and the history and culture of India would have been different. This is the parallel world that Professor Gaitonde experiences when he time-travels into the past. The Catastrophe theory helps us to imagine how different realities can exist as a result of different choices or events. 🌎
