Ancient Chain Reaction

I was wondering if it were possible that actions taken by creatures that lived millions of years ago is affecting events that are happening today. I can give you an example. 

A dinosaur living 75 million years ago sees a dismembered leg on the floor and it smells a bit off but the dinosaur is hungry so it eats the leg. The next day the dinosaur feels sick and weakened and that caused a hunt to fail. A herbivore dinosaur that was earmarked to be eaten survives and it lays 5 eggs, 3 of them hatch and survive for more than 12 years. One of the juvenile dinosaurs dislodges a boulder and it rolls down a hill and a stone breaks off the boulder, it is then  buried under sediment. 

75 million years later. 

The dislodged stone is exposed  by erosion and a passer by thinks it looks like pastie, he later names his new dog Pastie because the name got stuck in his head. Someone hears the man calling his dog pastie and that inspires him to open a bakery. Then later the bakery is bought by another person and he turns it into a pub. He called and pub a "The  bakery". Friendships are formed and relationships started and even fueds start off under the roof of the pub. 

All of those events that happened in this scenario hinged on the dinosaur getting sick. If the dinosaur decided not to eat the festering leg, it would have full strength the next day and eat the herbivore. The juvenile dinosaurs would never be born because their mother was eaten before she could lay eggs, the juvenile dinosaurs were never born so one of them didn't dislodge the boulder and the stones were never exposed to human eyes. The pedestrian doesn't name his new dog pastie because he doesn't see a stone that looks like a pastie. The neighbour of the pedestrian doesn't decide to open a bakery because  he isn't triggerged by hearing the pet name. The site where the pub is, is just a house and all the events that would happen in the pub, all the friendships and relationships  never happened because the pub isn't there, it is just a normal home standing in its place. 

The event that are triggered by the pub never happened because the pub isn't there. It isn't there because of a decision made by a dinosaur 75 million years ago. 

I wonder if the whole world works like that, someone reading this blog article now does something different because of the blog and the chain reaction lasts for eternity forever changing events around the whole world.

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.
