~small causes can have larger effects~
The butterfly effect is a thing, and not just a super bizarre movie starring Ashton Kutcher ^^
The theory states that when a butterfly moves its wings somewhere in the world it can cause a tornado in another part of the world.
A butterfly flapping its wings could produce a tiny change in the atmosphere, and trigger a series of changes which could eventually lead to a hurricane on the other side of the world
A meteorologist Edward Lorenz was researching into the possibilities of long term weather prediction.
He created a computer program using mathematical equations which could theoretically predict what the weather might be. He wanted to run a particular sequence again and to save time he started it from the middle of the sequence
and got a totally different result from the original. Until he found he hade used 3 decimal places instead of the 6 decimals, which he used for the computer ;)

Chaos is In Our Lives ~~~chaos theory
There's an solution to every problem - neat, plausible and wrong.
So if the solution to the problem is not neat, plausible and wrong, then it should be messy, unlikely and right
