This video shows the absorption process by Lorentz's attractor of surrounding matter. There are 25 000 "mass points" (initial conditions) on a sphere of radius 200. At the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Saint Petersburg State University, we use these kind of videos for demonstrating the main properties of strange attractors to students. Most people consider strange attractors a purely mathematical abstraction, but in fact systems with similar behavior surround us practically everywhere.
