[00:00:00]What if a butterfly flapping its wings could help create a hurricane? This idea is called the butterfly effect, a concept from chaos theory. It means tiny changes in a system can lead to huge differences later on. In the 1960s, meteorologist Edward Lorenz discovered that changing a weather input by just a fraction completely altered his forecast. So, a small event, like a butterfly flapping its wings, doesn't literally create a hurricane, but it shows how sensitive complex systems can be. That's why predicting weather, stock markets, and even some human behaviors is so difficult. Tiny actions can have massive consequences. The next small decision you make might change everything.
