The butterfly effect refers to minor actions that scale over time to have major consequences on the space around.

It was firstly theorized by Edward Lorenz, a meteorologist, who developed a mathematical model used to simulate the way air moves in the atmosphere.

After simulting the atmosphere using 3 mathematical ecuations and changing the imput with just 0.00127, he observed that, after a period of time, the results have changed drasticly.

An example of butterfly effect in action is:

• Pinball (each time you play the game will be different due to the existence of many obstacles which influence the trajectory of the ball a bit different each time due to air pressure, air temperature, gravity, etc.)

What is chaos theory?

Chaos theory, in mechanics and mathematics, the study of apparently random or unpredictable behaviour in systems governed by deterministic laws. A more accurate term, deterministic chaos, suggests a paradox because it connects two notions that are familiar and commonly regarded as incompatible.

The chaos theory

“You can stay at home and be happy in introspective or you can make the choice, step out, and be the butterfly that begins the tempest that changes the world.”

Be careful about every decision you make because it will come back to you twice as strong.
