Edward Lorenz
Edward Lorenz was an American mathematician and meteorologist best known for his pioneering work in chaos theory, particularly the concept of the 'butterfly effect,' which illustrates how small changes in initial conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes in complex systems. His groundbreaking research has had a profound impact on various fields, including meteorology, economics, and philosophy, shaping our understanding of predictability and the interconnectedness of natural processes.
