AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the physical systems related to the Henon and Ikeda attractors, with a focus on their origins in chaos theory and non-linear dynamics. The Henon attractor is linked to perturbations in asteroid orbits, while the Ikeda attractor arises from non-linear optical systems. Participants clarify the distinction between mathematical and physical interpretations of these attractors. Resources such as MathWorld and Hypertextbook are suggested for further information. Understanding these attractors requires recognizing their applications in real-world phenomena.

can someone tell me what's the physical system of Henon and Ikeda attractor?? or tell me some web side about this, because i need to do an assignment:wink: thank you!

What do you mean by "what's the physical system..."? Don't you mean whta's the mathematical system of the Henon and Ikeda attractors?

'Cos if you if you do the answer is easy: chaos theory/non-linear dynamics

no no...
just like Lorenz attractor, it's a model as atmospheric convection
do you what i mean?
 
No, I still don't quite understand you, as strange attractors can be viewed abstarctly, but the Henon attractor came about from the study of peturbations in asteroid orbits and the Ikeda attractor came about from the study of non-linear optical systems:

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...

Thread 'Is Gravity an entropic property like Surface Tension'

Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
