These aren't all that pretty

Imagespost2012-02-07

Any guesses as to what these are? Newtonian gravitational lensing simulation with a slow lens speed showing a narrow bright caustic streak Newtonian gravitational lensing simulation with a fast lens speed showing a compact bright caustic streak Newtonian gravitational lensing simulation with a slower lens speed showing a wider fan-shaped diffraction pattern Newtonian gravitational lensing simulation with a very slow lens speed showing pronounced radiating light fans Rather than focus on chaotic dynamics I wanted to see how I could explore the differences between the classical central forces. This one is newtonian gravity.
