The butterfly effects would add up and and any zygote formed would not be the hitler-as-we-know anymore, since it would be a different combination of sperm and eggs.

Who needs guns when you got a time machine? Don’t like your highschool bully, just bump into their parents back in time. Or you know, “bump” ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) into their parents.

    No closed form solution is one property. It’s not wrong, only incomplete. But if a system of equations had a closed form solution, it wouldn’t be called chaotic. For example any exponential equation like x^y is extremely sensitive to initial conditions yet it isn’t chaotic.

        'Robert L. Devaney, says that to classify a dynamical system as chaotic, it must have these properties:[22]

        it must be sensitive to initial conditions, it must be topologically transitive, it must have dense periodic orbits. " https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

        f(x)=x^y doesn’t satisfy those 3 conditions. Nor does the paper you linked say that x^y is a chaotic equation.

        That function in the paper cannot be solved for an input because of its sensitivity to initial input. He used a computer to simulate the time steps. He couldn’t immediately calculate any point on the the plot like y^x.
