The Butterfly Effect : HMCS Yukon Model – Dive 5

Intro The "Butterfly Effect" is part of chaos theory in physics. The theory is that a small change in one state can result in large differences in a later state. The prototypical example is that a butterfly flapping its wings can result in a tornado. I ran into a "Butterfly Effect" between building the model [...]
