I remember reading that a butterfly on the otherside of the world can cause a hurricane on the opposite side, and it’s down to chaos theory, could someone explain what chaos theory is please? Thanks

Roll some dice.
The result you’ll get it is difficult to determine, even if you know how for the floor is, how fast the dice are spinning and moving, etc.
Chaos Theory is the idea that alter those initial conditions just a little, and you’ll get a very different outcome in a way that is extremely difficult to predict for a something as simple as a dice roll.
Real life, with more initial conditions and more sensitivity to those conditions, is way harder to predict.
