The Ravine / Joseph Dunphy on 01 Apr 09A computer graphic with adjustable paramaters, said to illustrate the concept of the harmonics of a weighted string. The graphic display, itself, is poorly documented - we don't know what we are seeing, but we know that it can't be the chain, itself, as the movement is generally circular, not linear and largely screen filling, even for small perturbations. The pictures are, however, pretty, and this is a mildly enjoyable toy. Without further clarification, though, I can not, in good conscience, do as others have done and classify this as "science" or "physics" because no real learning is taking place.
