A double pendulum demonstrates chaos theory, tracing its unpredictable path The dependence on initial conditions, and sensitivity to variation is one of the fundamental properties of chaos This is commonly referred to as "the butterfly effect,"

Chaos, but not random. If it was possible to set two double pendulums in motion with the exact initial conditions then resulting paths they take would match Source of video Wesleyan University Dept. of Physics More

@gunsnrosesgirl3 The point of chaos theory is that it's not actually chaos. It's an ordered path that is hard to predict but based on laws once thought random.

What a perfect depiction of how it feels to have an ADHD brain. Gets going steady for a moment, then it’s “whoopsie looks like I’m off the rails again, how silly of me”.

If they attached a penlight to it and photographed a time exposure of its movement, I wonder what the pattern would look like?

by the look of it, it appears there's lot more energy out than in

Ooh, yes, I like this too, very much. It takes 30,000 samples or so, to abstract the fractal pattern. It's as though chaos is the pattern we dig ourselves out of daily, and our manipulation of it (the randomization of it) makes up our world of order.

The real question is: where can I buy one of those???

Now check out some uniform motion and coherence.

@Chris22095712 @gunsnrosesgirl3 of course it cant get more energy, its a law of physics, but its still fun to imagine lol

This video isn't long enough.
