The butterfly effect is real
Have you watched The Butterfly Effect, the movie in which a guy realizes that everything he does has an impact on the future? Well, this is the perfect example of someone’s actions having an unexpected consequence in the course of history.
In 1810, Philippe Henri invented canned food and gave the patent to Sir Henry Wickham, who could travel to South America and deplete the continent of rubber thanks to it. Because of that, Americans tried to create synthetic rubber, eventually discovering that combining it with gasoline made up napalm.
