The Butterfly Effect is pure science fiction and quite good at that . . .
That's not what I meant. Obviously I didn't clarify enough. I mean to take it as a serious scientific possibility, as it's suggesting itself. It's not some lame cop-out movie where he wakes up at the end and it turns out it was all a dream. You need to take the events together as if they all happened and they have a cumulative effect.

*sigh* never mind.
