wat's the butterfly effect?
401234
The butterfly effect is an element of chaos theory. It is used as an example of how a small change to the input of a system can lead to a large change in the output. In this case a butterfly flapping its wings in india can change the course of a hurricane in the carribean.

It's the effect that people get when they believe they should get one.\n\nBasically, it comes from the expectation that something good should happen.  \n\nThere was an experiment once, where they wanted to determine if the level of light over the work area could effect production.  They went into the area and changed the light bulbs to a higher wattage.  Work production increased.  Ahha! they thought.  Higher light increases production.  Then they went in and changed the light bulbs back to the original ones.  You might think that production dropped, but in fact it increased again.\n\nThe people were reacting to the attention they were getting.  The feeling that someone was paying attention to them increased their production.\n\nSo, the placebo effect is one that we perceive someone is concerned about us, and the "medication" we are getting should make us feel better.  And it often does, even if there is no medication in the pill.  \n\nA company researching a new medication would want to give a placebo to a group of people they were testing to ensure that it was their medication and not the "placebo effect" that was causing the improvement.

Because Dog was already taken. \n\nActually, as I recall it's because the wings of a butterfly has a tendency of picking up alot of pollen, and much like when you were a kid and you took a dandelion and brushed it against your skin it would leave a yellow (buttery color) residue, a butterflys wings would do the same. A buttery color dust would be left behind, so I guess they connected the color of the dust to the idea that this thing flies.

Good effect - Information is a click away.\n\nBad effect - We have become too dependent on the computer.

Kathy, you are so fortunate. Your father is sending you hope and letting you know that he is ok. Butterflys symbolize transformation. This is what has happened to your dad, transformation. Cherish these moments, and the next time it happens tell him you love him and are glad that he is ok. This is the way that spirit works.\n\nBless you.

Well you should have "butterflies" in your stomach.You would do thing you would not do usually.You'll see.You'll feel.

As to where the color itself comes from:\n\n"The wings of butterflies and moths consist of a colorless translucent membrane covered by a layer of scales (the name of the order is Lepidoptera, meaning 'scaly wings'). Each scale is a flattened outgrowth of a single cell and is about 100 µm long and 50 µm wide. The scales overlap like roof tiles and completely cover the membrane, appearing as dust to the naked eye. \n\nIn butterflies, iridescence is caused by multiple slit interference. Sunlight contains a full range of light wavelengths. "Interference" occurs when light hitting the wing combines with light reflected off the wing. Light is a wave. If the crests and the troughs of the waves are aligned, or "in phase", they will cause constructive interference and iridescence. This happens when the one light wave hits the first groove, and a second light wave travels half of a wavelength to an other groove and is reflected back in phase with the first. If the crest of one wave meets the trough of an other wave ("out of phase"), they will cancel each other out, demising the overall light intensity."\n\nAs to WHY they are colored, this answer applies to Morpho Blues, but can be applied to other butterflies as well:\n\n"Iridescent surfaces, such as butterfly wings, help animals to elude potential predators. When these insects fly, the upper surface of their wings continually changes from bright blue to dull brown because the angle of the light striking the wing changes. As the butterflies move their wings up and down during flight, they seem to disappear and they reappear a short distance away, looking like ethereal flashes of bright blue light. The dark undersides of their wings strengthen this effect. Combined with an undulating pattern of flight, this ability to quickly change color makes them difficult items for predators to pursue."

butterfly effect without a doubt.

You know you are in love when your only desire is to make that person happy and take away their pain.  When you can look into their eyes and see into their soul and love what is inside them.  It's not about finding them so attractive that your chemicals give you butterflies.  It's deeper than that.  Butterfly's and daydreaming are all just initial signs of physical attraction.  They wear off eventually.xx

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!\n\nThanks i needed that.\n\nOr it could have been Evil American Butterfly being controlled by the CIA's elite Jewish alien hybrids out at area 51.\n\nPut on your tin foil cap now..\n\nThey are watching us all....

I'm pretty sure it's called the Coriolis Effect. You can look it up.

I'm not sure what you are looking for but I will have a stab at it.\n1.A butterfly chain is a piece of jewellery the second two links will tell you more with pictures.\n2.If you mean the butterfly effect, it is a phrase that encapsulates the more technical notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. Small variations of the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. This is sometimes presented as esoteric behavior, but can be exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position.

When you get butterflys in your stomach, you are most definately in love.  If you will know they are the one, well that's hard to tell...  Sometimes you feel they are and they end up not being...  \n\nBasically life is about chances everyone you date or fall in love with is a chance..  Things may go well for awhle and then sour, but sometimes it will last for a life time.  \n\nI say don't concentrate too much in if he is the one...  Just enjoy your time in getting to know him, and all the fun you guys have.  As time passes on, you will more or less know....\n\nGOOD LUCK!

It can die if touched too much.  When touched by humans, the wings tend to lose some scales. If too many scales are lost, the butterfly's ability to fly will be impaired. The scales on the butterfly wings have many properties, mostly optical.  Butterflies are very fragile & best viewed by sight & not by touch.

butterfly. i dont know why but i would scream if i see one

I think it is sappy and trite.\n\nEasy for a butterfly to fly around. They don't have to pay the rent.
