"The butterfly effect is all the more pleasing because the computer model that led to its discovery resembles a butterfly. The mathematician Edward Lorenz created the model, called a strange attractor, in the 1960s; it's a line that alternately spirals around two adjacent ovals, mapping out the chaotic solution to a set of interrelated equations."
When the Butterfly Effect Took Flight
www.technologyreview.com/s/42...
"On a winter day 50 years ago, Edward Lorenz, a mild-mannered meteorology professor at MIT, entered some numbers into a computer program simulating weather patterns and then left his office to get a cup of coffee while the machine ran. When he returned, he noticed a result that would change the course of science."
The Butterfly Effect
www.uh.edu/engines/epi652.htm
"In 1960 Lorenz tried to model the weather. He wrote simplified equations and solved them on a primitive computer. Sure enough, his output did behave a lot like real weather. His colleagues watched over his shoulder. They were fascinated."

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.

***** 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. If I was good at the math that is what I would be doing for a living though I can tell you that. I like learning how things work.

[@cryora]

Jeff Cook 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.

[@robertwhite174]

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.

[@Zante126]

One of the best episodes on this channel. So interesting, yet accessible knowledge about our world

[@jespergauhl6611]

"I've been Trace, and I will hopefully also be him in the future. And this is probably still DNews." *checks channel name* "Seeker". Sorry man, don't be so hopeful about keeping your name.

[@5thhour826]

"This is probably still D News, we'll see" its seeker now...

[@Master_Therion]

How do you turn a normal mathematician into a chaos mathematician? Tell him/her to divide by zero.

[@cykablyat9333]

AHA.

[@fangsinyourneck3444]

Dividing by zero is doing nothing to the number

[@Master_Therion]

Ionic Qube It makes it undefined. Try it on a calculator you'll get an error. You can't divide by zero, it's not a valid operation.

[@fangsinyourneck3444]

Master Therion Dividing by zero is a mathematical representation of doing nothing to the dividend. It isn't a problem, it's a representation.

[@kenton8476]

You are in a lot of videos I watch...

[@svetliostanev8144]

Your story is one of many possibilities

[@chrism3790]

This is very apparent on a double pendulum, which is a pretty simple system. Tiny variations in initial conditions have completely different results.

[@ashly1461]

I wish Dnews were an actual school class,I would actually be attending everyday to know everything about everything.

[@inspektical2393]

Wow Dnews thats a hella cool video.

[@SailorThugCuzSailorWasTaken]

[@himshady4723]

I always felt something like this existed I just didn't know how complicated it could work are how it's effects work but apparently it's a things everything has a effect for a reason

[@fieldofreeds8581]

Two very beautiful movie scenes illustrate the butterfly effect- one in Benjamin Button and one in Mr. Nobody… the first time I heard about the theory was from those movies and it’s endlessly fascinating.

[@slipstreamxr3763]

I can think of a certain six movie series based off of two books that perfectly illustrate the butterfly effect.

[@Moscato_Moscato]

I've seen Jurassic Park so consider me an expert...

[@jamesfra1311]

THERE WILL BE ORDER IN THIS COMMENT SECTIIIOON

[@marcosanchez9544]

No

[@marcosanchez9544]

I won't conform

[@22buttergaming]

YEAH WHO ARE YOU TO TELL US WHt to do!

[@geetgeorge9696]

Under rated comment.

[@CommanderM117]

neeeevvvvveeeeerrrrrr

[@terencemtesla3019]

It seems to me that the butterfly effect comes into play in initial conditions, as well as phase transitions or tipping points.

[@WhoElseButZane]

0:15 "This is probably still DNews, we'll see" LOL

[@horsepower523]

I've always been fascinated by the butterfly effect theory. Like for example if I snap my fingers could that really change my life and possibly even the whole history of the world and if I hadn't snapped my fingers at that precise moment then everything would've gone totally differently? It just blows my mind when I start thinking about it. Every little move that I make could change everything in the universe.

[@PureGold197]

I thought hee was going to talk about when you have a crush on someone, and you get butterflies when you're near them 😂😂

[@cosmicroyal77]

I would've much rather heard about that:)

[@smhbabygirll2568]

Mark Angelot your dumb :/

[@PureGold197]

+Smh Babygirll Maybe..

[@reamb.5302]

mark youre in a very wrong side of youtube if you think that!!

[@BTSxARMY-qs2vc]

Smh Babygirll bruh, why are you calling him/her dumb?? : (

[@deproissant]

This is why it's impossible for one to travel back in time without changing anything. The traveler just changed the initial condition, from a condition where it didn't have him as part of the specific point in spacetime to a condition where it does now. Who knows what could happen from that point on.

[@HendrikCombrinck]

The only thing I could think of when I saw the graph of chaos theory was one of the symbols in Desmond Milse' room in assassin's creed.

[@jonathanescobar6482]

"Chaos is really order" tell that to the reapers.

[@SubShadow818]

so this is the same as if you were to go back in time and change one little thing you pretty much change everything?

[@xoreign]

if that one thing is significant enough

[@grandmastaj5]

In theory, yes. The smallest change can lead to a huge change.

[@TiagoTiagoT]

Possibly; you can't know the repercussions exactly until you actually do it (or run a perfect simulation of it).

[@MaDrung]

That is true. After a few years there would be all different people on the planet if you just pushed a pen.

[@N0URii]

yes, example if hitler parents have a sex in different time, is they would have hitler or kid with other personality. and now you can imagine what happen then in the next centuries

[@soupbonep]

Great explanation. Best narrator I've seen on this channel. Thanks!

[@kuy3796]

0:15 "This is probably still Dnews" lol

[@s00uz]

A lot of people won't like this comment but I feel compelled to say it anyway. As a Christian, this gives me peace of mind. There is order in the chaos, we just can not comprehend it. Thank you DNews for this video today, shared!

[@ahmed38247]

"Life is strange" perfect example to explain this (*_*)

[@ArdhenduChakraborty621]

My personal example. I never knew about this theory's name although I could sort of sense it always. Once, I was solving a sum in thermodynamics which included a power of (1/3). First time I did it, I put it 0.333 in the power and the calculator came up with an answer which I fed in the answer box and it turned out to be WRONG. I couldn't understand what could possibly go wrong. I went through my procedure a minimum of 5-6 times. Couldn't figure it out at all. Lastly, I noticed that perhaps I may get the right answer if I used (1/3). Turns out I was right. Just the change of interpretation, changed the answer and made it go literally out of the legal limits set by the examiner. That was truly CHAOTIC!

[@jpendersen1294]

Lol, "I've been Chase..." I love it

[@CJ-cx8ym]

"Flaps it wings in Brazil and causes a hurricane in Texas", anyone else watching this while hurricane Harvey destroys Texas ?

[@Demolidor_999]

I'm brazilian and thats not our fault heheheh

[@DrSuess-tl7ln]

Vitor Hudson LOL good one ;)

[@hatsmyth]

“‎"Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos...”

[@user-kh4uz7bx6h]

That butterfly efect hits when a bity tiny eror somewhere makes completly diferent result even in simple math .

[@kevnar]

(X + 2) * 8 / 7 - 3 = ? Change the value of X, even slightly, and the final outcome is always different.

[@lindsey7544]

oh

[@amanjhawar]

So The Joker had a point

[@lunaletuna]

“It’s probably still called d news”

[@IDMYM8]

Mom can we have Butterfly Effect? Mom: We have *Butterfly Effect* at home. *Butterfly Effect* at home: _"Domino Effect"_

[@ItzHarley]

The movie JACK (Robbin Williams) Shows the butterfly effect REALLY well, USING AN ACTUAL BUTTERFLY (when they are all singing in the treehouse)

[@MrLukhut1]

This had to be discovered? How can you expect anything to be the same absolutely every time you experiment on something without a constant environment. Honestly this sounds like common sense to me, but then again, im not the dullest person on youtube. lol

[@GraverFILMS]

There seems to be a barrier between people who understand this to be the way of the universe and people who are saying "it's just a theory". Definitely an observable lack of common sense

[@saulleach3476]

It is common sense and as babys we work it out for our selves but what makes it interesting is when we think about it and realize how crazy the realisation of this fact is and how it turns everything we believe to be our "free" lives up side down. I guess The human brain freeks out because it belives it is in totel crontrol when of course it has no control over the uninvers laws at all
