Title: Chaos Theory.... Interesting fact or imagination??? Post by: Kheng Soon Sie on May 07, 2008, 12:29:48 AM Chaos theory, or otherwise known as the butterfly effect. Its intriguing how it sounds unbelievable yet true. The fluttering of a butterfly's wings in the US can cause a typhoon in Japan. A simple analogy... Small simple incidence leading to unforeseen happenings.
Whats you take? Title: Re: Chaos Theory.... Interesting fact or imagination??? Post by: Pamela Lxy on June 03, 2008, 02:35:15 PM hmm.. but there's too many obstacles that will interrupt or disperse the movement of the wind.. if a butterfly's fluttering does cause a typhoon somewhere.. imagine wat we could do just by fanning ourselves. hah..

Yeah true, but unless the world fans together at the same time; at the same direction; at the same place. I cannot imagine what will that make, the end of world? :o Ultimately, I believe the logic of breaking a stick is easy, but breaking 10 together is really hard. So, I can really imagine what is the outcome of something small and powerless to become a disaster that we can never imagine. :( Title: Re: Chaos Theory.... Interesting fact or imagination??? Post by: Kheng Soon Sie on June 04, 2008, 09:04:47 PM Maybe it doesn't only apply to physical happenings. Think of the psychological and social aspect of it. It may apply more easily. A simple statement leading to a misunderstanding and den an end of a long lived friendship. A simple innocent cause, a major effect. Things simple as throwing a banana skin and den leading to a fall and a death is an example... Hmmm.... I'm crapping... LOLZ... People... Try watching The Butterfly Effect. Its nice.

Can you post something regarding to the Chaos Theory? I couldn't find any.. :-[ Title: Re: Chaos Theory.... Interesting fact or imagination??? Post by: Fadly Ramlan on June 04, 2008, 11:46:31 PM Chaos theory or the butterfly effect are both of the same thing. Its something about a small gesture or action that can lead to drastic long-term results. Natural phenomenons (eg: hurricanes) portray the definition of the chaos theory well.
The butterfly effect movie shows about a man who could "change" fragments of his past but the consequences of his actions were unexpected. Doesn't really explain the true meaning of the butterfly effect but it's still a great show. Khengsoon's examples are pretty much clear cut to me. Title: Re: Chaos Theory....

Its nice. oh okok... yeah then it makes more sense... so 'butterfly effect' is just a term to describe wat u just said: smthing small that happens which causes a big effect.. not literally referring to the butterfly.. :p i know u're not crapping.. hehe jack, there's wiki on it... lol Title: Re: Chaos Theory....
