Chaos Theory is one of the most attractive theories in the physics world.

We always see big things happening around some trivial matter. There are some stories behind the discovery of "Chaos Theory". Mathematician Lorenz was also a meteorologist while working at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). With the help of a newly invented computer in 1971, he used to predict the weather by analyzing various aspects of the local climate.

Chaos Theory on Everyday Life

Mystery conceal for weather analysis , he expressed the relationship between various objects or factors, such as temperature, air flow, air pressure, humidity, etc., in the form of about twelve endogenous equations, and if the equations were given to that numerical computer to solve, it would predict the weather a few days earlier.

It is the mathematical scheme behind chaotic systems, namely every real environment that includes plenty of variables and conditions. That makes every action within it unpredictable.

Just to give you a few examples:

• The double pendulum (two simple pendulums connected) is chaotic.

• Five fidget spinners attracting with a magnet is chaotic.

• Our solar system is chaotic.

• Meteorology systems are chaotic

He made a system with variables related to the weather and let the computer do his work. He went to get some coffee. When he returned, he was astonished. He digited the exact same numbers. The predictions, though, were two completely different scenarios.

How to established Butterfly Effect?

Lorenz initially thought the computer was broken. Then he realized that the computer worked with numbers rounded to six decimals, whereas he used numbers rounded to three decimals. Yes, a fraction of a fraction produced this huge difference.

But it was this slight difference that caused the disaster, this is the principal mysterious information of Chaos theory. In both cases there was a big difference in the weather forecast. There was even a big difference between the two weather forecast graphs! The matter may have seemed normal to many, but Lorenz did not take it lightly. He clung to it until the real reason was known.

Repeatedly, Lorenz noticed the variation of the graphs with different decimal numbers. Every little change in the graph brought a big change. After all, Lorenz realizes that the small mistakes we make all the time, maybe because of them, can lead to big changes or chaos on the other end. This is what Lorenz called the "Butterfly Effect".
