What best illustrates Theory of Chaos?
Theory of chaos is best illustrated by
the butterfly effect, which states that small events can have a large unpredictable influence on the future.
The butterfly effect was first named by meteorologist and mathematician Edward Lorenz (1917-2008), who was searching for ways to accurately predict the weather and found that mathematical linear models, tracing the path between a cause, A and an effect, B, did not provide accurate predictions. When he changed an initial atmospheric condition by only 0.000127, such a small, seemingly insignificant change caused a model to predict very different future weather conditions.
Lorenz likened his findings to the idea that a butterfly’s wing flapping represents the tiny change in atmospheric condition that would have the potential to alter the trajectory of a typhoon.
This metaphor allowed the concept to be taken out of purely scientific discourse and be understood by the general public.
