what do u know about "chaos theory"?

Question

if a butterfly flabs its wings in japan there will be an earthquick in south america, wasn't it some thing like that??

Answer 1

never heard of it...

Answer 2

That is a rather silly quick phrase that many people associate with chaos theory.

In reality many a chaotic system is one that is defined to have certain mathematical propertys. Most of those propertys are beyoned what I'm thinking your asking.
Really what we are talking about are dynamical systems and their responses to conditions inside that system. What chaos theory deals with in unpredictablity in outcomes based on these tiny often overlooked inputs in the system.
There are also many other branches that came off from chaos theory and stating chaos theory in a "butterfly effect" phrase is way too simplistic way to dumb it down for the general populace. It happens too often in my opinion, and creates very untrue ideas in peoples heads of what these things mean.

Answer 3

That's the aptly-named butterfly effect. Basically everything affects everything else. Because everything is a lot of variables, it's hard to predict. This implies chaos
