Butterfly Effect-Can flapping of wings cause a tornado??

I came across this unique theory at a General Awareness class so found it worth mentioning here.In simple words the theory states that if a butterfly flaps its wings at a faster rate than it usually does, it can actually cause some serious stuff--you name it from a cyclone to a tornado ..seriously ppl am not kidding here...an amazing concept based on air pressures and all...worth giving it a read.The following article from wiki will help u further understand it..I know its difficult to believe but its been proved...strange strange world!!

The butterfly effect is a phrase that encapsulates the more technical notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. Small variations of the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. So this is sometimes presented as esoteric behavior, but can be exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position

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.

So the next time there's an unexpected tornado or cyclone in ur area..u know the reason :p
