Join Pheely, Patrick, and Liam as we discuss the topic of chaos theory. We start off the episode with a brief callback to the optical phenomenon of sun dogs, and correct an error we made in the previous episode. For our main topic, we explore the idea of chaos in classical physics and the many concepts behind it, from a simple two-pivot pendulum into truly chaotic systems. We also point out the difference between the common notion of chaos and the mathematical description. Finally, we end this episode on chaos by discussing one of the most chaotic stories: the beginning of the universe and how it may potentially end one day.
