Personal Narrative: The Butterfly Effect

The butterfly effect is a well-known concept that is known to many as little to small changes that can make a unique difference to the scenario, and will have greater effects to it. In the article, Chaos by Gleick James, Lorenz had some many interesting examples of the butterfly effect taking action, how certain equations can make that small impact to make the biggest difference in the world.

Back in my teenage years, I use to play basketball and in the last few seconds I made the buzzer shot which made a small impact in points but major difference in the winning score. Everything seemed so slow and time felt like it was

Lorenz tried different patterns to figure out his way with meteorology, you can apply the same idea to your life and see a major difference good or bad it never hurts to try because the effect can be quite
