I've never heard of Occam's Razor? Would you care to enlighten on this phrase?

Again...small things matter only on a small level, because in reality butterfly flapping its wings in New York doesn't affect the weather in Japan.
Ever heard of Occam's Razor, according to that, Butterfly effect has very little chance of success.

Every little thing that we do does have its effect on our environment. In terms of our actions, saying hi to someone does effect the future. This is the same phenomena as the "butterfly effect", where a butterfly flapping its wings in new york can affect the weather in Japan.
A person's thought will affect the future as well, because it is just like sending out a wave into the universal consciousness.

It may not effect the weather...but it may effects some things in Japan. I say this because of Newtons law : every Action has an equal and opposite reaction. The butterfly flapping his wings exerts a force on the air, this force creates the opposite force, which may force the unaffected air, which kinda goes off in a chain reaction... or at least that's what my science teacher said... i'm not sure if he's right thuogh...

I think it fits here because the Butterfly effect has a lot of assumptions, right? I am purely guessing. So therefore it isn't the best theory.
whast to assume? all we assume is that things affect other things, i think thats fair enuf.
as to newton's law, i dont think so, after all, we can just employ the domino effect to circumvent that. one particle blows, which blows three others, whcih blows three others etc. (
