    My favorite example of the butterfly effect:
    US railroads are exactly 4 feet 8.5 inches wide. Why did they pick such an odd number for that? Well, the same people who built the first railways in America happened to be wagon makers, and their tools where all designed to make wagons that where 4 feet 8.5 inches wide. Why that size for wagons? Because that is the size they made them in England. So why did they make it that size in England? It's because all of the roads already had ruts in them that where this size, and if you made wagons smaller the wheels would snap trying to fit into the ruts, so they made the wagons the right size to fit. So why where the ruts that size? Well, 2,000 years ago when the Romans conquered most of Europe, their war wagons where the ones that made the first roads and so every wagon after that had to be made to the same size as those ancient roman war chariots.
    So, why where the chariots that size? Turns out 4 foot 8.5 inches is the minimum size needed to fit the butt end of 2 Roman war horses in the front of their chariots.
    Now, remember the US space shuttle? Remember those tall white rockets on either side of the main orange tank? Those are solid rocket boosters, and they are made in America but have to be shipped to Cape Canaveral via railway. The engineers who designed the space shuttle had wanted those boosters to be fatter, but the railway went through several tunnels which where just wide enough to accommodate a rail car with a width of 4 feet 8.5 inches.
    This means that a critical design feature of one of the most complicated machines ever built by mankind was decided over 2,000 years ago based on the width of a horses ass.

    One takeaway from Butterfly effect:
    1.01^365 = 37.78343
    0.99^365 = 0.025517
    If you put 1% extra effort everyday for whole year, it really makes a difference compared to 1% less effort every day.

      Yes physics is easier if you are great at math. But you can go a good way without it. I believe Newton or was it Halley that wasn't good at the math. But got far.

      Well I don't know what would be considered good at math, since the math gets quite crazy in Physics. Do you mean being able to derive special function solutions to differential equations difficult? Or do you mean anything that involves number crunching, trigonometry, or calculus is difficult?
      Cause what's awesome about chaotic systems is that it is very difficult, if not practically impossible, to determine analytical solutions to an equation of motion (i.e. the double spring pendulum), thus what Physicists do is use a computer to solve the equation iteratively, getting, instead, a table of values resembling the solution. They've actually refined this process using the Lagrangian Formalism (which is an alternative interpretation of mechanics to Newton's Laws).

    Something as simple as taking a different route home could affect your entire existence. Maybe you would've gotten in an accident if you had gone the usual route. Maybe you will on the new route. If someone delays you for a few seconds on a trip in which they weren't originally part of the plan, it could literally be the difference between you being in the wrong place at the wrong time... or the opposite. Maybe it'll save your life. The butterfly effect is very complex, in a way that none of us could possibly fully comprehend. One tiny little thing could change a lot & affect many different people.

    It's true because lets say you went back in time and drove down a street, it would throw off the time that would happen normally and then when someone went home and had sex it would be at a different time which would impact where the sperm is stored and a completely different sperm would be used to impregnate causing a completely different person to be born, who knows maybe that person would of became president but didn't because it was another person and it would just keep snowballing and causing different things to happen at different times with different results all because you chose to time travel and interact with people.

      I disagree with ShymFan2007. Lets say that you had a superintelligence that was able to analyze all the data about everything there is to know about the universe's starting conditions. With this information it would be able to predict the future indefinitely by creating a recursive equation that is essentially a simulation of the universe from its birth until its death. This thought experiment is known as Laplace's Demon and gives credence to the philosophical theory of determinism. So I think that yes, mathematically speaking, fate is real.

    I figured this years ago when I was a kid. Subtle occurrences can result in life changing events. For instance a point in space inside a giant nebula can have just a tiny amount of extra density which would lead the the formation of a star at that point. Had the density been slightly less, the star may have formed elsewhere or not at all.
