Teorin För Allt (TFA):However, if we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist.

Kaosteorin (The Butterfly effect):
The flapping of a single butterfly's wing today produces a tiny change in the state of the atmosphere.
Over a period of time, what the atmosphere actually does diverges from what it would have done.
So, in a month's time, a tornado that would have devastated the Indonesian coast doesn't happen.
Or maybe one that wasn't going to happen, does.
