: What is the butterfly effect?
In: Mathematics
In regards to time travel, it’s very similar to how the other guy made mention.
If a time traveler steps on a butterfly.
That butterfly could in theory have fed a spider, that spider could have poisoned some bird that ate it, and that dove could have been hunted by a person and that Hunter could called in sick to work, and survived an encounter that blew up the building for they would be at home.
HOWEVER, the butterfly that’s now dead by said time traveler, can no longer go through all of that, causing the Hunter to show up to work like everyone else and die causing a divergence in the timelines
