What does it mean?

Question

"It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world"

What exactly are they trying to say with quotes from the butterfly effect?

Answer 1

That some scientists say that the flutter of a butterfly's wings can actually cause a typhoon halfway around the world. It is trying to show, that one little thing can have a huge impact on another thing. Like the little flutter can make this huge disaster. And the change of that flutter could make the typhoon go one way or the other. Just like the movie.

Answer 2
