What exactly is chaos? The name "chaos theory" comes from the fact that the systems that the theory describes are apparently disordered, but chaos theory is really about finding the underlying order in apparently random data.One day in 1961, he(the meterologist, who found out about "the effect") wanted to see a particular sequence again. To save time, he started in the middle of the sequence, instead of the beginning. When he came back an hour later, the sequence had evolved differently. Instead of the same pattern as before, it diverged from the pattern, ending up wildly different from the original.Surely the fourth and fifth, impossible to measure using reasonable methods, can't have a huge effect on the outcome of the experiment.

The Butterfly Effect: (not the movie)
The flapping of a single butterfly's wing today produces a tiny change in the state of the atmosphere. Over a period of time, what the atmosphere actually does diverges from what it would have done. So, in a month's time, a tornado that would have devastated the Indonesian coast doesn't happen. Or maybe one that wasn't going to happen, does.

as my advise goes:
dont fuck with the now(like the flapping of a single butterfly) to much.
it might just affect your tomorrow with a devestaded large change of a tornado.
