some scifi thing apparently, i know nothing other than i'm hearing folk talk about it
I read a book called that, did they make it into a movie or something 🤔
it's the name of one of the earliest and most well known chaos theory systems, i think Henri Poincare or one of those guys from the late 19th-early 20th, before the term "chaos theory" was coined, back then it was called, i think, "dynamical systems" or some name like this
it is impossible to say the state of three bodies in orbit with each other without modelling it, two bodies are predictable, one tends to be the centre and one the satellite, and three throws in an element that drastically reduces the predictability
of course, to be clear, three EQUAL bodies has to qualify what it really means, when there is a big difference in mass the predictability becomes easier to model, it resembles a gearing system instead of a chaotic system
Or indeed read! 😁
