I've always been fascinated by the butterfly effect. Like I will always ask Mr B, do you ever regret doing this, do you ever regret doing that? But he will never fail to tell me about the butterfly effect. & so, being really patient waiting for the feeds to finish loading, I decide to google & the following are my results: " The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a tornado or delay, accelerate or even prevent the occurrence of a tornado in a certain location. The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale alterations of events. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different. Of course the butterfly cannot literally cause a tornado. The kinetic energy in a tornado is enormously larger than the energy in the turbulence of a butterfly. The kinetic energy of a tornado is ultimately provided by the sun and the butterfly can only influence certain details of weather events in a chaotic manner. "How amazing can this theory be? If I wasnt with ZL, I wun b in SP. If I didnt enrol into SP, I wun be doing B&F. If I am not doing B&F, I may end up being in some random JC. If I didnt do B&F, I wun meet Brian Goh. If I didnt enrol into SP, I wun have the chance to go to Cambodia. If I didnt go to Cambodia, I wun be in CS now. Every single tiny decision I've made linked me to another option in life, just like the flapping of the butterfly's wings. Therefore, I concluded that I dont even have a tinge of regret in me now because I know I am living life to the max & enjoying every part of it (: Now readers, tell me, do you believe in the butterfly effect, just like how Mr B & I do?
