When talking about the butterfly effect, it generally refers to a meaning that is related to chaos theory. But also with which it is sought to explain the different and small variations that can affect complex and large systems to a certain extent, a great example of them lies in the existing weather patterns. In relation to both, the butterfly effect tries to suppose that the movement made by the wings of a butterfly can generate repercussions of great significance in reference to the force of the wind and the movements produced by means of the climatic systems of the world, which even according to this they could cause tornadoes.
The idea regarding chaos theory is proposed to refer to those minimal variations that can cause a given system to evolve or develop in different ways in certain ways, thus producing an initial alteration, through a process that could be called process of amplification, and that later could generate a greatly considerable effect in the short or medium term of time. The butterfly effect, despite being considered a complex concept, tends to be assimilated as a philosophy and can even be suggested in many fields of life.
The term was established by the American meteorologist, Edward Norton Lorenz who was a pioneer in the development of chaos theory, through the belief that according to the initial conditions of a certain system, the slightest change can cause the system progress. This character worked on this theory for around ten years, and by 1973 he exposed the theory of the movement of the wings in time and then it was that he took the butterfly as an example to make a somewhat more poetic theory.
Se manifiesta, por lo tanto, que su nombre se debe a la famosa frase o proverbio chino que declara: “el aleteo de las alas de una mariposa se puede sentir al otro lado del mundo”; o por su parte, “el aleteo de las alas de una mariposa puede provocar un Tsunami al otro lado del mundo”, aunque también hacen mención de la cita “El simple aleteo de una mariposa puede cambiar el mundo”.
The butterfly effect also makes an appearance in science fiction, applied many times in time travel where events could change; as an example of this we can cite the film whose name is the same, Butterfly Effect, published in 2005 where they reflect the possible negative changes that behaviors carried out in the past could generate in the future.
