AMPED- Episode 21: The Butterfly Effect
1 Hour of Advanced CE Credit
In the movie Jurassic Park, Dr. Ian Malcolm (played by Jeff Goldblum) says this about the butterfly effect as it relates to chaos theory, "A butterfly can flap its wings in [Beijing], and in Central Park, you get rain instead of sunshine.” The metaphor is used to describe how seemingly minor events can have grand consequences much further down the line. On this episode of AMPED, an accident on a rural farm, a seemingly banal scheduling happenstance, and a series of decisions borne out of circumstance result in remarkable change for the state of New York, and a policy that affects the ability of first responders to do their jobs.
