Chaotic Orbits
A rolling ball on a curved surface reveals the complexity of chaotic
systems
Put the power of gravitational pull in your hands! This experiment replicates the famous "three body problem." The shape of the surface acts on the rolling ball like the pull of gravity, creating chaotic patterns as the ball travels back and forth.
