Feb 22, 2011 · How a MIT meteorology professor discovered the principle of chaos theory and challenged the idea of the clockwork universe. Learn about his life, work, and legacy in this article by Peter Dizikes.
The term is closely associated with the work of mathematician and meteorologist Edward Norton Lorenz. He noted that the butterfly effect is derived from the metaphorical example of the details of a tornado (the exact time of formation, the exact path taken) being influenced by minor perturbations such as a distant butterfly flapping its wings ...
