according to the butterfly affect, everything has an affect on your life, in some way or another...
Every effect has at least one cause, but not every potential cause has an effect... It is like Quantum Physics... And event must be the result of energy reaching a certain level within a certain time frame or nothing occurs... Look at the development of nuclear weapons... All of the material for the two bombs had to be assembled quickly before detonation at the correct intensity would occur, and then the reaction was over is a microsecond... Because of the nuclear material involved, one could basically be shot together with a gun, and the other had to be much faster and the rusult of a lensed explostion, with many shaped charges... Prototype computers were used on that divice... So, if you look at all the factors put together, which was a complex event concluded by an out of control nuclear reaction, a lot of things might have went wrong, and the thing have been a dud from a practical point of view... Every single part of the activity leading up to the event would have had a cause and an effect, but some of the effects may have ended with the cause... It is like saying: A brick fell on the floor... That could be a cause... What is the effect??? It could be the same as the cause: the brick fell on the floor, and it could be something other: Some one tripped on the brick that feel on the floor; or : Some one had to pick up the brick... Or life could have gone on unchanged in an situation not similar or the same...
