Chaos is the complexity of causality or the relationship between events. This means that any insignificant event in the universe has the potential to trigger a chain reaction that will change the whole system. A well known saying in connection with this issue is "A butterfly flapping its wings in one part of the world can cause a tornado on the other side of the earth."
