Pushing Simulation to the Limit to Find Order in Chaos

Tavsif:

In this video, the creator runs millions of double pendulum simulations to uncover order in chaos and generate a new fractal. The simulations use an 8th-order Dormand-Prince Runge-Kutta method for high accuracy, and the visualizations are created with Blender and Manim CE. The video also validates unexpected elements by varying parameters such as gravity, rod-length ratios, and pendulum masses, showing that certain chaotic regions persist.
