If
2020
A physical experiment created in an attempt to visualize the chaotic nature of the double pendulum.
The double pendulum, seen above being released from the same point ten times, follows a path that is sensitively dependant on its initial conditions. Minuscule inconsistencies in the pendulum's release are magnified throughout its fall. The highly varying paths converge again as they come to a point of equilibrium, the end of their journey.
