The Butterfly Effect Quotes

“That we imagine the butterfly effect would explain things in everyday life, however, reveals more than an overeager impulse to validate ideas through science. It speaks to our larger expectation that the world should be comprehensible—that everything happens for a reason, and that we can pinpoint all those reasons, however small they may be. But nature itself defies this expectation.” —Peter Dizikes, “The Meaning of the Butterfly,” The Boston Globe, June 2008”
