Connection: Einstein's dreams and the butterfly effect

In the book, Einstein's Dreams , There has been many interesting topics so far. In one of these topics  mentioned, I found a direct relationship between this part of the book and the movie, The Butterfly Effect. I really enjoy the movie, so when I saw this connection I was more into the book. In the book there's a segment where Lightman speaks about the many outcomes of the man's actions, when he goes to the woman's house in Firbourg the outcome is much different compared when he decides not to. When he decided not to see her he ends up with another woman with a much more calm relationship, a good relationship but much different from the other outcome. When the man decides to go to her house, he ends up making love with the woman and then they fall in  love. His relationship with this woman is much different, with a lot of arguments and love, but none the less he is happy with her. And the other outcome which involved him going to see her, but in this version nothing happens and they end up not being together. What I took from this part, was that there is many outcomes depending on the actions taken in life. I directly related this idea to the movie, The Butterfly Effect. In the film, the main character has a power where he can go back in his life through his journal entries that he writes everyday. Depending on what happens that day is what he writes in his journal. He is able to see the many outcomes of his actions when he reads his old entries he is allowed to go back in time and react however he chooses. When he goes back in time, he doesn't remember how his life has been in that "entry". But he does get to see the many outcomes his actions have on his life. This movie and book have both made me believe strongly in the idea that life is really like this. Life is very sensitive, and any choice or decision made in life will lead to something different.
