In chaos theory the image of a butterfly starting to fly in australia could lead to a hurricane in the usa is sometimes given to illustrate the sensivity to initial conditions.
However I am struck with the energy conservation, a butterfly having a tiny energy and a hurricane a huge one.
So where does all that energy come from ? Is it to understand that there is a mechanism like a button firing a huge load of dynamite ?
Thanks.
