Essay:

There are only few ways of surviving the butterfly effect, and those ways are to go back in time, let the chaos happen, and make a change. The butterfly effect will happen no matter what happens, but change can be made to the change. In order for the change to happen, events have to happen in a certain time and in a certain place. What is the butterfly effect is a question that one may ask. The butterfly effect is a cumulatively large effect that a very small natural force may produce over a period of time, like a butterfly flapping its wings near a flower in China to cause a hurricane in the Caribbean. Yes, the idea of butterflies causing hurricanes is quite ferine, but it is possible.

One of the more complicated ways of surviving the butterfly effect is to go back in time and change the event that happened. If one were to go back in time that would change the present as much as the past. If someone were to make a shift in the time by ¼ second as Marc Perkel, the author of ‘The Butterfly Effect, Chaos”, says that everything that happens effects what will come and what is to happen.  In a simulation if a ¼ sift is made the number of accidents stays the same but the people change in the accidents, those who had near misses are killed and those who were killed have near misses. “What if we could go back in time and ring the doorbell 10 seconds before Hitler was conceived? What would the world be like? If Hitler had not been born – the Earth would still circle the sun and the moon would still circle the Earth. None of that would change. But the people who live here would change. In fact- every single person on this planet- except for maybe a few very old people – would not exist. Yes – there would be people here- but they would all be different people.”  In the movie Back to the Future the main character Marty goes back into the past and introduces his parents, and makes his father seem a lot tougher than what he really is, changing what his reality is into a new reality.

Chaos is not what most people actually think it is. Chaos changes the system; actually the meaning of chaos is a change or break down in the old system. If chaos is allowed to continue on as it would if left alone then everything would be just fine. The sun would still be the center of the solar system; the moon would still circle the earth; the earth would still circle the sun. Everything affects the future. Someone simply sneezing would affect the future of mankind. That sneeze could be the cause of the next plague and wipe out the entire human race, or not. In order to find out one must just let the chaos go on and hope to survive. In Call of the Wild, Buck let his chaos go on, and he was able to survive, they still talk about him today. He just went back to his primordial beast.

We all have free will, believes Marc Perkel, writer of "The Butterfly Effect Chaos - Sensitive Dependence on Initial Condition - Effect on the Future - Free Will - Time Travel." With that free will a change could be made to the change that made the great changes. “In order to make the change at the right time you have to have good timing” states Rudolf Melik.  With proper timing one could make a change to turn the whole world upside down, or right side up. Changes and timing help each other because if the change is not made at the right time the effects could end up being unwonted results. Now the change that needs to be made could be arduous, but then again it may not be.

Hopefully I have not been too inarticulate, and that in the future my readers will be able to help us all when the time comes to save the world. Maybe by then time travel will be possible and will make the quest simpler for those going back but be careful to not be too superfluous. Do not get too carried away or everything might change to where this paper was never written. Be careful when we need to be saved. Put some thought into this. This paper may save you one day. No one knows when chaos will hit.
