This is related to the question whether a system/the universe is ergodic (among other properties changing energy, space).

What are examples of things that are NOT ergodic?

I think an example would be the two body problem. It stays on an eccentricity. So it does not explore different eccentricities although they can have the same total energy.

(But I just looked that up too because this concept is mostly used/assumes in statistical physics)
