  2. Fictitious force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force

    An example of a pseudo force as defined by Iro is the Coriolis force, maybe better to be called: the Coriolis effect. [4] [5] [6] The gravitational force would also be a fictitious force (pseudo force) in a field model in which particles distort spacetime due to their mass, such as in the theory of general relativity.

  3. List of paradoxes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_paradoxes

    These paradoxes may be due to fallacious reasoning , or an unintuitive solution . The term paradox is often used to describe a counter-intuitive result. However, some of these paradoxes qualify to fit into the mainstream viewpoint of a paradox, which is a self-contradictory result gained even while properly applying accepted ways of reasoning .

  4. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    Centrifugal force is one of several so-called pseudo-forces (also known as inertial forces), so named because, unlike real forces, they do not originate in interactions with other bodies situated in the environment of the particle upon which they act. Instead, centrifugal force originates in the rotation of the frame of reference within which ...

  6. Coriolis force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force

    The centrifugal force acts outwards in the radial direction and is proportional to the distance of the body from the axis of the rotating frame. These additional forces are termed inertial forces, fictitious forces, or pseudo forces. By introducing these fictitious forces to a rotating frame of reference, Newton's laws of motion can be applied ...

  8. Life simulation game - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_simulation_game

    Life simulation games are about "maintaining and growing a virtual life", [2] where players are given the power to control the lives of autonomous people or creatures. [1] Artificial life games are related to computer science research in artificial life. But "because they're intended for entertainment rather than research, commercial A-life ...

  9. Butterfly effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect

    A plot of Lorenz' strange attractor for values ρ=28, σ = 10, β = 8/3. The butterfly effect or sensitive dependence on initial conditions is the property of a dynamical system that, starting from any of various arbitrarily close alternative initial conditions on the attractor, the iterated points will become arbitrarily spread out from each other.
