The Butterfly Effect

The Butterfly Effect is a theory about chaos. It explains that one small action can affect things on a much larger scale elsewhere. This has been put in terms of science for things like weather predictions, as Lorenz originally intended it. It can also be applied to psychology and how an action or what a person says can greatly affect another person’s mood and behavior. The basic idea is simply that the tiniest action can cause great effects, both positive and negative.http://www.stsci.edu/~lbradley/seminar/butterfly.html
