General Description of This Show
"Butterfly Effect" is an original show based on a few fragments from Igor Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" The show illustrates how one small event can eventually lead to a very significant result. A result that we often cannot predict or speculate how that small seemingly insignificant event will effect the course of events. This is done through the morphing of the small Stravinsky quotes into larger ideas as well as through visual design. Part 1: "Everything Starts Somewhere" (The first 35 seconds is a really cool "pre-show") Part 2: "The Unknown Path" Part 3: "Where will we all end up?" (from Wikipedia) The butterfly effect 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. Quantum chaos is the study of the butterfly effect in semiclassical physics and quantum mechanics. It is a common subject in fiction when presenting scenarios involving time travel and with "what if" scenarios where one storyline diverges at the moment of a seemingly minor event resulting in two significantly different outcomes. Line parts only (included). | |
