the butterfly effect a name and concept
formulated by American meteorologist and
mathematician Edward Norton Lorenz in
the 1960s is the theory that one small
change in the starting condition of an
event such as the flutter of an innocent
butterfly soaring through the sky can
have a dramatic effect on the outcome of
an event like a cause a tornado on the
other side of the world or less drastic
caused a plane to experience turbulence
Edward first popularized the butterfly
effect after running weather forecasts
through a computer using precise
variables and realizing that just a
minut alteration of any given
calculation such as wind speed
temperature or humidity caused a
dramatic influence of the following two
months worth of simulated weather
predictions but this is by no means just
the case with the weather but every
single event thought and outcome ever to
have happened this is why you did not
read the title wrong and I did not get
you with clickbait this video will have
an impact on the outcome of your life in
ways you probably never thought until
you learn about the butterfly effect so
how can we relate and physically see
this well like I said every single event
in reality is the result of a past
action but there are some examples that
will reminisce with all of us because
the action started out so small yet had
such a devastating or positive outcome
on all of our lives let's take a look at
a few of those examples
World War 1 was an event that changed
the course of all of our lives
but what if World War one never took
place while that in theory could be
equally as damaging because another more
devastating war may have broken out but
just what if while it's been theorized
that if somehow a war did not happen
there of course would have been no world
war two no Hitler rising to power no
60-plus million deaths and fast forward
many years theory suggests there would
be no tension with the Middle East no
Taliban and no al-qaeda just to name a
few but many say World War one was
destined to happen and they're probably
right
Walter one was a combination of many
things but it can be narrowed down to
one small event that if altered could
have changed his course entirely and
that was the wrong turn and the stalling
of a car a car that was carrying the
Archduke of Austria Franz Ferdinand you
see on the morning of June the 28th 1914
France's car was attacked with a grenade
which failed to hit its target but
instead injured passengers of the car
behind later that day Franz wanted to
visit those wounded by the blast and
whilst enroute the driver of his car
made a wrong turn down a street standing
outside a CAF on this very street was 19
year old Serbian governor Princip one of
the men involved in the attack on Franz
that morning he spotted the car had
stalled whilst trying to turn around in
the road ran over and shot Franz and his
wife dead if not for the wrong turn made
by Franz his car he would not have been
shot if he had not been shot
austria-hungary would not have declared
war on the home country of the man who
shot him which caused Germany to declare
war on Russia followed by France and
Belgium causing the UK to declare war on
Germany starting World War one had Franz
not been assassinated
World War one would never have happened
that way it may not have been prevented
but it certainly would have started
differently potentially changing its
outcome all because a car took a wrong
turn and stalled in the middle of the
road
whilst on the subject of world wars you
may have heard before that one pull of
the trigger could have prevented world
war two and the death of over 60 million
people henry tandey
a British soldier allegedly bumped into
a Dolf Hitler in a French village in
1918 when a wounded Hitler walked into
his line of fire but Henry decided
against shooting him before a young
adult nodded at him and walked away
had he shot him Adolf would not have
been the driving force behind World War
two and it's anyone's guess what would
have happened World War two would have
surely been different and it may or may
not have started which may have been for
better or for worse because that would
have had a knock-on effect on your
ancestors who may never had met because
of the fact world wars who never took
place
or had a different outcome thus
resulting in you never being born but
think about this if Henry had pulled the
trigger although a war may have started
60 million people may not have died so
just think out of those 60 million who
died they could have gone on to have
children some of which could have been
the next Einsteins or world-changing
visionaries all because one man decided
against pulling the trigger this one is
interesting and is quite popular because
if JFK had not been assassinated who
knows what the outcome that would have
had on the United States well what if it
could be traced back to when he was
around 20 years old but if he had chose
to do something different on one certain
day he would not have been killed all
those years later you see in 1940 23
years before he was assassinated he had
an accident was playing sports which is
thought to be the driving force behind
his never-ending struggle with back pain
if not for the back pain he would not
have worn a back brace if he had not
been wearing a back brace on the day he
was assassinated he would have slumped
or fallen after the first non-fatal shot
hit him but instead he stayed upright
because of his back brace allowing his
body to be positioned perfectly for a
second shot many experts have all agreed
if not for the back brace that was the
result of years of low back pain fuelled
from this sporting accident many years
previously JFK would have been able to
duck out the way out of the first shot
and the second fatal shot wouldn't have
been feasible

take the handful of people who were late
for work on the morning of 9/11 all the
facts that Seth MacFarlane missed his
flight because he was drunk the night
before preventing him being killed that
day which would have been the end of
Family Guy and the millions of hours
spent by people watching our show would
have been spent doing something else
which would have resulted in a different
outcome for those people take aliso
Kayne a United Airlines flight attendant
who typed her flight schedule incorrect
into the airline's computer system
before 9/11 which in turn led to her not
being on her original scheduled flight
175 take the fact the u.s. space
shuttles to side thrust of Rockets had
to be made of smaller size due to the
fact they passed through many tunnels
during transport tunnels which were made
2,000 years ago and were built at the
time to just fit the width of two horses
carrying a chariot as someone puts it
one of the most complicated and
groundbreaking pieces of machinery in
history had to be designed to fit around
the decision made 2,000 years ago take
this and the hundreds of personal
scenarios you can think of relating to
events that happened in your life and
you wonder how things could have been
different for better or for worse if one
little piece was taken away if my
parents had never met I would never have
been born if I was ever born the 3200
plus years that has been spent watching
my videos by millions of people which
has literally changed the outcome of the
world in some way or another would never
have happened
sure everyone would have done other
things in that time or watched other
videos but because it would have been
different
maybe less or more time spent watching
different conversations with people or
different thoughts depending on which
video you've watched a different outcome
would result now this is a question I do
often ask myself I wonder if by someone
sitting and watching one of my videos
that prevented them from maybe going
outside and getting into trouble or that
maybe those five minutes spent watching
one of my videos or anyone else's video
man they had something in common with a
person but led to them dating and
potentially starting a family down the
line
now I am not the cause of that or taking
any credit for a scenario like that but
we are all here to serve a purpose one
way or another and we all seem to shape
each other's lives a lot more than we
think and when you know more about this
you will soon come to realize as I
explained why the title of this video is
not clickbait the minutes you have spent
watching this video has changed the
outcome of your life and in turn the
lives of millions of others because your
actions today will be different some may
be instant tiny things that happen today
or this week but in time what happens
today will have a snowball effect on the
direction of your life which in turn can
and will have a huge effect on
everyone's life around you but what does
all this mean while your life is
precious and is the result of billions
of events that have led to your
existence and the billions more that
will become your future so go after that
project you've always wanted to ask that
person out it's because 10 years down
the line you may have started a family
with them I never underestimate the tiny
actions you make because they can have
an enormous outcome or not only your
life but potentially the lives of so
many people for years to come so if you
ever thought your life doesn't matter
believe me it really does
you
