What is the butterfly effect?
For example, the butterfly effect is a typical example. Originally, these two things are far away, but they will also be related, resulting in a series of complex chain reactions. The most common explanation for this effect is: "A butterfly in the tropical rain forest of the Amazon River basin in South America can cause a tornado in Texas within two weeks with an occasional flap of its wings."

The reason is that the movement of butterfly flapping its wings causes changes in the surrounding air system, resulting in weak airflow, which in turn causes corresponding changes in the surrounding air or other systems, causing a chain reaction and eventually leading to great changes in other systems.

Extended data

Butterfly effect theory extends to other aspects:

1, social aspect

Butterfly effect is used to explain a tiny mechanism in sociology. If it is not guided and adjusted in time, it may bring great harm to society, and it is dubbed as "tornado" or "storm". A tiny mechanism, under the correct guidance and after a period of hard work, may have a sensational effect, or be called a "revolution".

2. Economic aspects

In 2003, a suspected case of mad cow disease was found in the United States, which immediately brought a devastating hurricane to the newly recovered American economy. It was the unfortunate mad cow that flapped the butterfly's wings. First, the US beef industry, with a total output value of US$ 654.38+0.75 billion and employment of 654.38+0.4 million, was hit. As the main feed source of cattle owners, the American corn and soybean industries have also been affected, and their futures prices have shown a downward trend.
