Ellipse reminds you of its focal points

Ғылым және технология

A couple of hundreds of balls are arranged along a vertical line at the center of an ellipse boundary whereafter they all move towards a point on the reflective boundary.

    Butterfly effect. Minor deviation at one point that lead to completely different trajectory pattern than the other dots in its initial proximity

  • @BarderBetterFasterStronger

    Жыл бұрын

    ​​​@@artursruseckis4242 I'm not sure this is a very good example of that. All the balls started at different coordinates with different initial angles of movement. The previous commentors question was more, why is the single green ball so out of sync when all other balls continue to follow fairly clear patterns. I think the variance of the paths of the balls seems to increase exponentially the closer it passes to the focal points of the ellipses. After a few viewings, you can see that the "new" circles in the pattern always appear first from the sample of green dots. Indeed, I suspect if we had a denser or continuous serious of dots (hey, that's a line) the single green dot's strange trajectory would just be part of the newest formed circle, one that the other dots in the video were not close enough in starting position to also be a part of. In a way, the first dot to appear out of sync with the others just implies that dot's closeness to being in line with the two focal points. You can also see that by the 5th/6th bounce, none of the dots' are even on the equator of the ellipse. And if you follow the paths of the closest green dots, by the 7th bounce, there would have been new circles forming that we can't even see because none of the dots were in line with the focal points enough to show them.

    ​@@artursruseckis4242 Clearly not. If you watched the other vidoes of this channel you would get a better idea of what butterfly effect really looks like. It's fundamentally different from what's happening here. Here, the green dots diverge in a very regulated circular pattern. The new, very large green circle cannot be correctly represented simply due to the limited number of the dots, but it's still a very large circle as apposed to being chaotic.

    As someone explained a while ago under Nils Berglund's video, the reason is because points will always go through the horizontal axis on the same side of the foci they started in : • If the point first goes between the foci, then every bounce after that will make it pass between the foci again. • If it first goes between a focus point and the "wall" of the ellipse, then every bounce after that will make it pass between a focus point and the wall. In this case, every point starts out in the middle, moving towards the rightmost point of the ellipse. That means every point goes between a focus point and the wall. Try to imagine the line between the two foci, and watch that line. You'll notice that, except for a single point that's sitting almost exactly on that line at the beginning, there's never a single point going through it ! And so, they will spread out, but never actually go between the two foci, eventually "circling" around the foci. To show this, I'd love to see another simulation, but this time clearly showing the foci and the line segment between the two, and with the points starting in the top right corner, moving down to the right of the focus point. We should see them "circle" that line, but never actually cross it.

    @@unitrader403 I've been wondering if the appearance of single green point seemingly floating around by themselves with no matching mirror symmetric counterpart on the other other side of the ellipse might be an illusion caused by there only being a finite amount of discrete points? Maybe the chain has just spread out so much by that point in time that the simulation is down to only a single point it can display, even though there's actually still a a constant continuum of a single wave, and it's forced to put that one dot somewhere that is either moving into the upper or the lower half of the ellipse. Or it could be a tiny rounding error at the start of the simulation that keeps getting bigger with each bounce.
