the butterfly effect was the name of 3rd episode of Heroes in this new season (season 3). this is a really beautiful TV show. i like it a lot! and also it was the name of a famous movie ("the butterfly effect" - 2004). anyway the title reminds me the real concept, and it's very marvelous!
the real concept refers to tiny changes that lead to very big changes; sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. in this theory, the flutter of a butterfly's wings in China could, in fact, actually effect weather patterns in New York City, thousands of miles away!!
here is another example. when you put a ball on the top of a hill, little differences between forces and the initial state make ball to slither a side.
and there is the same concept related to this term in time traveling, it's called the Time Paradox. in theory when somebody goes in to the past, and make a small change, he or she can't come back to the original now, because that little change in the past makes a big change in the future (Butterfly effect) , now many things has changed and it's another now!!!
