About This Quote
The statement, "A sequence of random events isn't really random at all. It's just made to look that way so it will ensnare the unwary." is a well-known mathematical formula, now known as the butterfly effect. In this formula, a butterfly can alter the path of a hurricane. A lightning strike can alter weather patterns across the nation from Florida to New Jersey.
A billion-dollar satellite launch can change a piece of software in a laptop computer in Paris. The idea behind this formula is that if one event happens differently, another event will follow only slightly different from it and then another and then another until a chain reaction begins that leads to a totally different result.
