Hello Ian!
This year I'm working on a thesis (a "final essay" ) about the Butterfly Effect, a hypothesis stating that a tiny difference in the beginning can cause a major difference towards the end.
(The most common example is Lorenz' butterfly, that could produce a tornado on the other side of the world just by flapping its wings)
Well, just some background info, don't know if you've already heard of it
Anyway, while surfing a bit on the internet looking for information, I found an article about a Japanese scientists who fully concentrated on the butterfly effect. He once did a test, during a soccer match, he dropped a stone to see if it would change the outcome. The losing team said they'd been treated unfair, and went to court. The judge said they were right, and so they "won" the match 5-0. I thought this was a nice story to include in my thesis (in the end, the outcome had a major difference after all!), but for some reason I can no longer find this article. I found it on a random school computer, so the internet history is gone...
I must have tried hundreds of search combinations, and after hours of searching I'm a bit desperate...
I was wondering, could you please see if you could find something in Japanese about this scientist (name is enough)?
Thanks a lot!

but I don't know anything at all about the Japanese culture, so I'm happy you gave me your opinion.
