The Butterfly Effect

I, for one, am a huge fan of the idea that is the Butterfly Effect. The article states that butterfly effect, in plain terms, are tiny changes within a complex system that lead to results that are impossible to predict. They use the example of a butterfly's wings creating tiny changes in the atmosphere that lead to violent weather conditions elsewhere on the planet. I find the Butterfly Effect fascinating. The fact that something so tiny in one part of the world, could eventually lead to huge events elsewhere is insane to me. I have heard of the Butterfly Effect before, mostly because of the movie starring Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart some years back, but have never really applied it to science or what is going on in the world today such as the atmosphere and weather. The whole idea is absolutely fascinating to me!
