Butterfly Airtime

Since the draught became established in Britain, I noticed many flowers perished and the butterflies need to fly longer distances to feed. They spend more time flying and they are more visible to people and their predators. The Butterflies need to fly all the way across a whole street just to get the next flower to feed sometimes. They spend more time flying, more air time. 

I was thinking about an articulated guided hovercraft in the imagination of my little world. I imagined if it were real I would get annoyed that people call it a train, it looks like a train but it isn't a train.  I would abbreviate the name to show it is a different type of vehicle; Articulated, Guided, Hovercraft : Ar Gu raft. Arguraft perhaps. 

It doesn't matter really, It doesn't exist and I need a space for a workshop to build test rig. 

Butterfly Effect thought

The butterfly effect is small things causing chain reactions that effect very big things; a butterfly can flap its wings and the air flowing away from its wing tips affects the surrounding air and that causes a chain reaction that eventually triggers a hurricane on the other side of the world. That is what the butterfly effect theory is. 

My example is I can write the word pin on this blog post, someone on the other side of the planet reads the word and remembers they left a box of pins in their car, they walk outside to get the box of pins and a virus goes into their nose and they catch the flu, they then take two days off work because of fever. While they are off work they watch TV and see an advert for an exhibition for a franchise. They book a ticket and eventually buy a franchise for a café. The café is a big success. Two years later, a customer in the café sees a picture on the wall in the café, the picture inspires them to book a vacation. While they are on vacation, they meet someone and fall in love, they later get married and have a kid called John. His whole existence and everything he does in his life hinged on the word pin in this blog. If I didn't write that word then all the events that causes him to exist wouldn't happen. Everything he does in his life also hinges on the word and even all the thousands of his descendants in the distant future. People living 5000 years in the future exist because someone went on vacation, the person went on vacation because of a picture hanging in a café, the café is there because someone caught a virus while they walked to their car, they walked to their car because my blog post reminded them they left a box of pins in their car. If they caught the virus one day later, they would have missed the advertisement and all those events wouldn't happen. 

I have a good imagination.
