Butterfly Effect

The Butterfly Effect was discovered by Edward Lorenz, when he was investigating the chaos theory.

This effect in known to be a sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of “deterministicnonlinear system” can result in large differences in later state. We can see an easier example like if a butterfly flat its wings, it moves a small amount of air. That small amount of movement can cause more movement that grows into a larger amount of movement that can cause a hurricane on the other side of the world. This can be seen on actions too, one small action can create a series of actions that can change the world.

Why a Butterfly?

The idea of a butterfly came from the study that Lorenz crated. The equation ins his study’s looked very alike with a butterfly and because of the butterfly metaphor this effect was named “Butterfly Effect”.
