A Sound of Thunder

Alfredo Covaleda
Hi you all Docs. Let me recommend you to read a story titled A Sound of
Thunder. This story is part of  Ray Bradbury's book The Golden Apples of The
Sun. Tell me if the story makes you think in some familiar concepts.

A Sound of Thunder

Jochen Fromm-3

Although time-travel stories are often convoluted and confusing,
this story is in fact interesting: it has the classic Jurassic
Park appeal, and revolves around two interesting questions. First
the question how strong the famous "butterfly effect" can be,
and second Gould's "rewind the tape" question: what would
happen if we rewind the tape of evolution and let it play
again. I wonder if the butterfly effect was named after
Ray Bradbury's story, because it was written in 1952 - long
before chaos theory became popular.
