Butterfly effect 蝴蝶效应

Meet a friend for dinner yesterday night and we have normal conversation and he talked about butterfly effect which he promise to tell me what is butterfly effect after the dinner. End up we forgot.
So i google it~

The term butterfly effect itself is related to the work of Edward Lorenz, a term used in Chaos Theory to describe how tiny variations can affect giant systems, and complex systems, like weather patterns. The wing movements of a butterfly might have significant repercussions on wind strength and movements throughout the weather systems of the world, and theoretically, could cause tornadoes halfway around the world. Which If butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different.

Butterfly effect is basically means timing & a small step you take at the beginning will caused a big effect at the end. It remind me of curious case of Benjamin Button, Daisy met an accident in Paris. If Daisy shoelace hadn't broken or if the lady didn't broke up with her bf or that delivery truck had moved moment earlier or the man had set alarm and got up 5mins earlier or the taxi didn't go by.........
