Butterfly effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The butterfly effect is a phrase that encapsulates the more technical notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. The concept of the butterfly effect is sometimes used in popular media dealing with the idea of time travel, usually inaccurately. Inarguably, the earliest illustration of the butterfly effect in a story on film, an angel in It's a Wonderful Life (1946) shows George Bailey how rewriting history so that George was never born would detrimentally affect the lives of everyone in his hometown. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Butterfly_effect   (899 words)

Butterfly (2004) Butterfly is a film with intriguing characters and real-feeling situations, but even with a two hour-plus running time, a lot feels left out. Like the titular butterfly, Flavia's years of "normal life" are a gestation period, and only with Yip's arrival can Flavia finally break free from her cocoon and spread her wings. Butterfly is predominantly an internal drama, in that everything is meant to speak to the changes and turmoil happening within Flavia. www.lovehkfilm.com /reviews_2/butterfly.htm   (1154 words)

Butterflies are found all over the world and in all types of environments: hot and cold, dry and moist, at sea level and high in the mountains. www.zoomdinosaurs.com /subjects/butterfly/allabout   (667 words)

Mariah Carey : Butterfly - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect Upon its release, Butterfly was interpreted as Mariah Carey's declaration of independence from her ex-husband (and label president) Tommy Mottola, and to a certain extent, that's true. Butterfly is peppered with allusions to her troubled marriage and her newfound freedom, and the music is supposed to be in tune with contemporary urban sounds instead of adult contemporary radio. Even though Butterfly doesn't have as many strong singles as Daydream, it's one of her best records, illustrating that Carey is continuing to improve and refine her music, which makes her a rarity among her '90s peers. www.artistdirect.com /nad/store/artist/album/0,,307734,00.html   (321 words)

The Butterfly Effect The "Butterfly Effect", or more technically the "sensitive dependence on initial conditions", is the essence of chaos. This is an illustration of the butterfly effect - the idea in meteorology that the flapping of a butterfly's wing will create a disturbance that in the chaotic motion of the atmosphere will become amplified eventually to change the large scale atmospheric motion, so that the long term behavior becomes impossible to forecast. The "Butterfly Effect" is often ascribed to Lorenz. www.cmp.caltech.edu /~mcc/chaos_new/Lorenz.html   (348 words)

Monarch Watch : Rearing Monarchs : Overview To hold a butterfly, always hold all 4 wings at once in their vertical position. If the butterfly does not unwind its proboscis after several tries, place a probe or pin in the loop of the proboscis and pull the pin away from the head so the proboscis is extended and touches the honey solution.

Madame Butterfly - Giacomo Puccini Madame Butterfly originated in a story by John Luther Long and was adapted for the stage by David Belasco. What makes the piece work are the characterizations of Butterfly and her Captain Pinkerton, both in the drama and in the rich and luscious Puccini score.
