Explores the mathematical concept of outer billiards, analyzing how different table geometries shape object trajectories. By visualizing starting positions and mapping complex singularities across various shapes, this short illustrates how simple geometric rules generate intricate, unpredictable patterns in both Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces.
