I was always partial to the story by Ray Bradbury, 'The Sound of Thunder'...definitely not the movie adaptation...~shudder!~. How the demise of a butterfly, while seeming so insignificant actually had far reaching results both profound and subtle. Yeah. I'm a geeky kinda girl...so? Science is sexy!
Then again, even though he's an egotistical nut, Richard Bach's book 'One' likened potential points and outcomes of choices to something like the reflection of sunlight at the bottom of a pool with each intersection a variant of actual events. Maybe a little romantic and nonsense musings, but fun!

Of course, some of those strings would re-merge as a given decision would have a greater or lesser effect. Still, it's kind of funny how one tiny event, say 1000 years ago would now mean we live in a nuclear world. (If you don't remember the old Connections series by James Burke, be sure to look it up.)
