what is the Butterfly effect ??

Question

and i don't mean the movie or the book
i mean what does the Butterfly effect do

Answer 1

The butterfly effect, first described by Lorenz at the December 1972 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C., vividly illustrates the essential idea of chaos theory. In a 1963 paper for the New York Academy of Sciences, Lorenz had quoted an unnamed meteorologist's assertion that, if chaos theory were true, a single flap of a single seagull's wings would be enough to change the course of all future weather systems on the earth. By the time of the 1972 meeting, he had examined and refined that idea for his talk, "Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly's Wings in Brazil set off a Tornado in Texas?" The example of such a small system as a butterfly being responsible for creating such a large and distant system as a tornado in Texas illustrates the impossibility of making predictions for complex systems; despite the fact that these are determined by underlying conditions, precisely what those conditions are can never be sufficiently articulated to allow long-range predictions.

Answer 2

I believe that it is an ancient Chinese proverb that says that even the flutter of a butterfly,s wing,s can cause a hurricane elsewhere in the world.So accordingly every thing affect,s everything else. So if you kill a bee a flower may not get pollinated and a drug may not be invented because the flower was not there a woman may die because the drug was not there a hero may not be born to save the world because the woman died. You see how it progresses or so it is said.

Answer 3

Everything that happens has an effect on the universe no matter how seemingly small.

Answer 4

It is a GREAT movie :)
