The Winners Code

On the other hand, a tornado  is a violent, dangerous, rotating column of air that reaches from the earth to the clouds.  The most extreme tornadoes can attain wind speeds of more than 480 km/h, stretch more than 3 km across, and travel for more than 100 km.  Whereas butterflies very often go unnoticed, tornadoes immediately catch the eye and are notorious for leaving trails of destruction in their wake.

What is the link between tornadoes and butterflies?  Well, in 1961, meteorologist Edward Lorenz was working in his lab.  He was entering data into his computer in  a mathematical equation that was used to predict weather patterns.  He was entering wind speed, air pressure and temperature into three separate equations that were inter- linked.
