Butterfly Effect “In life the smallest things can make the greatest impact on the world”. This is known as the Butterfly Effect in chaos theory. The butterfly effects most famous example is a hurricane creation depending on whether or not a butterfly flaps its wings. For instance if a rat in a hurry is frightened it gives Off gas that tells all the other rats to run away saving the pack form harm. The most well-known illustration of the butterfly effect is also known as the ripple effect. The butterfly effects shows that everything we do affects everything else.

As said “If you think you are too small to have an impact try going to bed with a mosquito’. The butterfly effect, written in 1963 by Edward Lorenz, is simply explained as this: each time a butterfly flaps a wing, it moves the air around it, and so on, until somewhere on the other side of the world, a hurricane is formed by all those moving air molecules. It kind of shocking how all the people of the world that sees every little action they do can create something larger? It makes me wonder if whatever it was that I did had an effect or would soon have an effect on someone else far away.

This away, at first, was considered ridiculous and laughable. How could one tiny little flutter create something as large and significant as a hurricane? However, it was soon proven entirely correct and accurate. What I believe this is saying is that every single action we take, every step, every blink of an eye, every twitch of a hand, and every flip of your hair, counts. Andy Andrews described the butterfly effect as “the law of sensitive dependence upon initial conditions. ” As much as one may not realize it, everyone can make a difference in every matter, whether it is a huge political decision or a small dispute.
