Alternate realities and the Butterfly Effect
I think of the many realities like a stream of water that branches out in different directions, so I figured this title would be appropriate.

Thesis
The choices you make throughout life matter. Each decision you make leads to a different outcome.
Abstract
I want to cover the topic of the butterfly effect. The butterfly effect is when the smallest change of events occurs, it could result in drastic results. The butterfly could have flapped its wings twice, however it only did it once. There is a question asking whether or not that potential second flap could have made an eventful difference in the world. In order to visualize the concept, it is often compared to a butterfly flapping its wings causing a typhoon.
I always thought it was fascinating how the choices we make throughout our lives made such a large impact. Whether the choice is small or big, it still leads to an outcome. I have always been interested in the concept of alternate realities in relation to the butterfly effect. It makes me think about the choices that I have made. What if I decided to wear my down instead of up that one day in first grade? What if that one decision ended up changing which career path I went down? My life would be so completely different. Chances are I could have ended up working as a scientist instead of pursuing graphic design.
There are theories that the reason why we have deja vu is because we are experiencing something that happened to us in another reality or a past life.

In this reading, Mcintire explains alternate worlds are now a popular topic among the science fiction genre. By examining the consequences of certain events, we are able to identify possibilities and outcomes that are able to happen. Mcintire explains that assumptions made about the world can be used to figure out the way the planet works. He talks about the way everything in the world we live in is somehow linked together in some type of way.

This reading explains how science cannot explain how people feel like they are just existing. Observation turns into experience, and those experiences turn into possibilities which could be endless. There is constant mention of quantum physics in order to uncover the themes in nature and what happens in the world we live in. In relation to the butterfly effect and alternate realities, the reading takes a more scientific approach to the subject of the butterfly effect without fully addressing what the butterfly effect is itself.

This reading begins with explaining the concept of the butterfly effect. It includes the probability of the possibilities to be the result of an event occurring. Smith talks about the butterfly effect as a theory similar to the theory of gravity or the theory of evolution.

Vernon explains how the theory of the butterfly effect all started off with a question asking if a butterfly’s wing flap had the power to start a storm. He talks about how the subject of the butterfly effect has become more popular throughout pop culture. Movies have been made in relation to the theory as well as stories being written about it as well. A question pops up at one point asking; “If we could rerun life from the beginning, would it turn out the same?” Though there is no answer to this question, it is believed that there are possibilities that things could be different due to evolution.
Everything Everywhere All At Once, Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert
This movie takes an extreme science fiction approach to the subjects of the butterfly effect and alternate realities. The characters in the movie are able to come into contact with themselves from these alternate universes in order to save the world from a phenomenon that was caused by the invention of universe jumping.
