Double Pendulum Simulation
Welcome to the Double Pendulum Simulator! The goal of this program is to give a visual of the core concepts discussed in Chaos theory.
For every new pendulum made, the Θ₁ increases by 0.001 degrees. At
first, their motion appears synchronized, but over time, their paths diverge
dramatically, revealing the sensitive dependence on initial conditions that defines
chaotic systems.
