Butterfly Effect

The Butterfly Effect is a concept from chaos theory suggesting that small changes in a system can lead to significant differences in outcome. It gets its name from the idea that the flap of a butterfly's wings in one part of the world could eventually cause a tornado in another. In broader terms, it illustrates how interconnected events are, showing that even minor actions or decisions can have far-reaching consequences in complex systems like the weather, ecosystems, or human behaviors. This highlights the unpredictability and sensitivity of dynamic systems to initial conditions.
