did you think about,what if your parents would never meet each other?

what if Lee Harvey Oswald wouldn't hit JFK at Nov.2 1963?

what if Will Chamberlain woulf suffer an injury in the 2nd quarter on March 2, 1962 at Hershey,PA against New York Knicks maybe he would never score 100 points in one match?

 

do you believe that ONE thing can change EVERYTHING?

 

the butterfly effect is a part of chaos theory.

 

The butterfly effect is a phrase that encapsulates the more technical notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. The idea is that small variations in the initial conditions of a dynamical system produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. Sensitive dependence is also found in non-dynamical systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position.

 

The practical consequence of the butterfly effect is that complex systems such as the weather are difficult to predict past a certain time range - approximately a week, in the case of weather. This is because any finite model that attempts to simulate a system must necessarily truncate some information about the initial conditions—for example, when simulating the weather, one would not be able to include the wind coming from every butterfly's wings. In all practical cases, defects in the knowledge of the initial conditions and deficiencies in the model are equally important sources of error. In a chaotic system, these errors are magnified as the simulation progresses. Thus the predictions of the simulation are useless after a certain finite amount of time.

 

Edward Lorenz first analyzed the effect in a 1963 paper for the New York Academy of Sciences. According to the paper, "One meteorologist remarked that if the theory were correct, one flap of a seagull's wings could change the course of weather forever." Later speeches and papers by Lorenz used the more poetic butterfly, possibly inspired by the diagram generated by the Lorenz attractor, which looks like a butterfly; other theories propose that the phrase's basis is to be found in fiction (Ray Bradbury's 1952 story "A Sound of Thunder"), but there is no proof available that Lorenz was swayed by literary precedent. The idea is now often stated something to the effect of, “a butterfly flapping its wings in Tokyo could cause tornadoes in California.”

i believe its true ... even a thought can change everything, this is my opinion. Because if you do one thing ... The next thing will be a consequence of the first thing

heh,agree,even a thaught can completely change everything.wars,revollutions,everything start with thaughts and continue with actions

indeed, if somebody gets a thought his and the lives of everybody else changes invariable

chain reaction ... yeah, i believe in it too ...

but that also kinda scares me ... :cry:

its scary but inevitable... its just like that, nothing can change it ... your actions effects everybody's life ...

and this thaught is very popular,i think.i mean i saw a lot of films which were built on a thaught "one can change everything".i also saw a professor who talked about the the chaos theory...heh,but he talked in german,i didn't understand everything :rolleyes:

true, it is very popular for movies but its a true thought :)

well, i don't really regret having quit school so soon... but probably if i hadn't i would be quite successfull today!!!! :smug:

Haha What If?...Fav ppl's question...

my fave question is : wtf? :thinking:

my fave question is : wtf? :thinking:

 

i've noticed already!!!! :sneaky:

Oh sorry I thought you're not ppl....I thought you're UFO :stunned:

:laugh1: you're trying to be silly :tongue2:

Oh sorry I thought you're not ppl....I thought you're UFO :stunned:

 

you're an UFO :wacko: do you have mirrors at home? :lol:

Nope,but If you think so It means that you think that I'm smart and just pretending and it's good for me :blush:

:rolleyes: :lol:

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

:wacky: :lol:

Wow you guys are so yellow

you're green btw :wacky:

 

You're not the first person who say it to me,so I'm not surprised :P

:lol:

You're not the first person who say it to me' date='so I'm not surprised :P[/quote']

 

you're probably eating bad stuff... :P

You're not the first person who say it to me' date='so I'm not surprised :P[/quote']

 

heh :sick2: you eat too much grass i guess :wacko:
