Re: ... unstable equilibrium ...
 

hunny does this 'item of clothing' make me look fat?

for the first few moments of hesitation all is well... but all too quickly equilibrium is lost.. and more genetic material is lost from the gene pool.

Exactly. I call that free will. The butterfly can decide to flap or not, I can belch at table or not, I can choose to break wind or not, & hunny can choose or not to say "Sure does sweet cakes". :)

[B][B]I agree all body on imbalance it looks for the balance. But me continuous looking for almost permanent imbalance examples..

Please to inform me some examples of permanent or almost permanent unstable equilibrium inside the planet earth.

I am looking for examples where are not related: organic bodies, solar energy or its manifestations (example: climatic changes)

From Chaos Theory or Theory of Strange Attractors (like the Butterfly effect) you can have nonlinear
unstable equilibrium. An example I thought up is a three body problem with special initial conditions. This
must be numerically modeled as it is not directly solvable in most cases. An example I heard of was a
Nuetron star that was found to have three planets around it. There orbits are found to be chaotic and
overlap. What you are really asking for is "quasi-stability". Truely unstable equilibrium as mentioned with
the marble over an upturned bowl be in any way permanent. ;)
