Chaos Theory and the Butterfly Effect

from Everything Everywhere Daily: History, Science, Geography, & More · host Gary Arndt

For centuries, scientists imagined the universe as a giant clock, where every motion could, in theory, be predicted.  Then mathematicians and meteorologists discovered something unsettling: even systems governed by simple rules could become impossible to forecast. A tiny change at the beginning could grow into a completely different outcome, an idea now known as the Butterfly Effect.  It reshaped how we understand weather, orbits, biology, and even world history.  Learn more about Chaos Theory and the Butterfly Effect on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
