R. K. King complains that the butterfly is always held responsible for
hurricanes etc. (Letters, 6 July, p 48). I fully agree and I find that Philip K.
Dick has given a much better description of the consequences of chaos theory in
his novel The Man in the High Castle (1962). There he writes: “It’s the
fault of those physicists and that synchronicity theory, every particle being
connected with every other; you can’t fart without changing the balance in the
Universe.”
