During an expedition, one hunter falls off of the designated path, and accidentally crushes the world's first butterfly.

** The term ''butterfly effect'' is the term for describing the outcome resulting from small changes in initial conditions in a chaotic system; it is typically described as a butterfly flapping its wings could be the initial wind that eventually causes a hurricane. The term has been popularized in modern entertainment as a method of describing the effects of time travel (the ''mutable timeline'' theory). Ray Bradbury's usage of the butterfly predates this scientific theory by about 10 years, and its naming is a coincidence. |
