Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the concept referred to as "Lorenzo's nonlinear effect," with participants seeking clarification on its nature and relation to other concepts, such as the butterfly effect in chaos theory. The inquiry appears to be exploratory in nature, with participants attempting to understand the terminology and its implications.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests an explanation of "Lorenzo's nonlinear effect," questioning whether it is related to percussive or displacement phenomena.
  • Another participant expresses unfamiliarity with the term and asks for further clarification, suggesting a possible connection to the butterfly effect in chaos theory.
  • A different participant proposes that the discussion might be about the Lorenz attractor, indicating a potential misunderstanding of the terminology.
  • Another participant points out that searching for "lorenzos non lineare effect" yields several references online, asking which of those might be relevant to the original inquiry.
  • A humorous remark is made regarding the connection to the butterfly effect, dismissing it as unrelated and attributing the confusion to attention deficit disorder.

could somebody please explain lorenzos non lineare effect ? how does it happen is it percussive ,displacement , other/ it troubles me that i don't under stand some thing so simple :
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I have never heard of "Lorenzo's non-linear effect" and when I googled on that phrase, go no hits. Could you explain a little more? Is this connected to the "butterfly effect" in Chaos theory?
 
Are you maybe talking about the Lorenz attractor?
 
If you Google "lorenzos non lineare effect" without the quotes, a number of website references appear. Are any of those in relation to what you are asking? If so, which one?
