Symmetry-breaking polygons on a rotating fluid surface
When a circular plate is rotated at the bottom of a cylindrical vessel containing fluid, the fluid surface can form stable polygons under certain conditions. This phenomenon is very surprising, as it seems that the rotational symmetry of the setup is mysteriously broken when polygons are formed. I e...
