The Sierpinski gasket, a self-similar fractal, generated with an L-system: https://t.co/9dlxveDV6c. First formally described in 1915 by Wacław Sierpiński. #Mathematics #Fractal #SCIENTIST #Science

Chaotic double pendulums: two double pendulums start a mere 0.05 degrees apart exponentially diverge trajectories. System has a positive Lyapunov exponent: https://t.co/s9j3FWFXDS

A beam of light internally reflects in a drop of water.

Interestingly, the n points of reflection can be thought of as a complex exponential e^(i*a*n) for a starting angle a. Does the light ever return to the starting position? (consider when a/π is rational!) #math #Mathematics
