[FRIAM] Any non-biological complex systems?

[Stephen Guerin]

Wow, cool!

You can play with a sphere at Los Alamos Bradbury Museum that has an inner
rotating sphere to generate similar turbulent patterns similar to Taylor
Couette instabilities in rotating cylinders:

I suspect Jupiter has more of a magnetic interaction but concepts I suspect
are similar.

Somewhat related is the unexpected reversibility of these systems as
illustrated by these UNM professors:
