Lorenz. This concept was used to highlight the possibility that  small causes can have  momentous effect.

The butterfly effect was used to explain why weather forecasts were frequently inaccurate. These occurrences went unnoticed, so the forecaster did not take them into account.  They believed that they just made minor mistakes, and that the weather was slightly different than what they thought.

He studied those patterns, then shared his ideas with other meteorologist. This idea contributed to the new science of chaos theory. ]]> 2018-04-18 16:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sumlind/osi83go266mf/wish/253078094 Past Studies sumlind https://padlet.com/sumlind/osi83go266mf/wish/253485823 Nearly 45 years ago, during the 139th meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Edward Lorenz  asked a question: “When a Butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil, does it set off a tornado in Texas?” 

The Concept referred to as the Butterfly Effect, has been embraced by pop culture, where the term is used to represent the massive impact of a small event.

He told his costar, Lena Olin, That "a Butterfly can flutter its wings over a flower in china and cause a Hurricane in the Caribbeans."

Because of the sensitivity of the outcomes, the outcomes are random and unpredictable.

This idea eventually became the basis for a branch of mathematics known as Chaos Theory. ]]> 2018-04-19 15:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sumlind/osi83go266mf/wish/253497955 Jurassic Park (1993) sumlind https://padlet.com/sumlind/osi83go266mf/wish/253506466 In the original Jurassic Park suave mathematician Ian Malcolm predicts the downfall of the dinosaur park through chaos theory: The idea that small changes in complex systems can have big, unpredictable effects.]]> 2018-04-19 16:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sumlind/osi83go266mf/wish/253506466 Example 1 of 2 sumlind https://padlet.com/sumlind/osi83go266mf/wish/254893081 Abraham Lincoln dreams of his death - 1865

Ten days before Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, he had a dream in where he was at his own funeral in the White House. Despite being really disturbed by this dream, he decided to go to the theater without any security to protect him.

His assassination marked a crucial point in American history as all the work Lincoln had undertaken to free African American slaves was rejected by his successor – Andrew Johnson. Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is still regarded as the heart of America’s national identity. If he had not have gone to that theater, he would have gone on to do many other great things.

Plans to assassinate the Archduke Franz Ferdinand by the Black Hand terrorist group had so far been unsuccessful. A grenade thrown at the Archduke’s car during a visit had missed and hit another car. The Archduke wanted to visit the injured, so he traveled to the hospital, but during the journey, he noticed that the driver was not going down the altered route that had been previously decided.
As the driver began to back out, one of the men assigned to assassinate him Gavrilo Princip, happened to be buying a sandwich at the corner, where the car carrying the Archduke conveniently stopped right outside. Gavrilo shot the Archduke and his wife, which plunged the world into a 4 year war with the death of millions of people.
