An example of symmetry breaking from instable equilibrium.

Summary edit

Description
English: A ball is initially located a the top of the central hill (C). This position is an unstable equilibrium: a very small perturbation will cause it to fall to one of the two stable wells left (L) or right (R). Even if the hill is symmetric and there is no reason for the ball to fall on either side, the observed final state is not symmetric.
