I think you mean "the butterfly effect", so-called because in "The Sound
of Thunder" ...
There's a much more commonly discussed analogy about the beating of a butterfly's wings (in the Andes, I think) causing a hurricane elsewhere in the world. It's been used to illustrate chaos theory for at least 10 years (probably more like 20 years). It has nothing to do with time travelling.
How about a little diversion (if only to annoy Dominic, being as I've
been complaining about him diverting)?
Why would a diversion annoy me, when I've said on more than one occasion that threads wander and that's as it should be? Having said that, I have no other comment to make on your post, because it holds nothing of interest for me.
