The Three Bodies Problem
One of the oldest problems in mathematics and physics is that of the three bodies: how will three objects mutually attracted by their gravity move in the future, given their current positions and speeds?
(their initial conditions are 18 values, consistent for each of the bodies in: its 3 position coordinates and the three components of their velocity).
Isaac Newton was the first to raise the problem.
It was later shown that it was unsolvable - in general it is impossible to find a formula that exactly predicts the orbits of the three bodies.
In general, the problem of the three bodies (and the problem of n-bodies, for n > 3) cannot be solved by the quadrature method or integrals of motion (or first integrals) . As the French mathematician showed Henri Poincaré , there is no formula that governs it.
However, researchers have found interesting solutions for some specific cases. The study of the problem of three bodies has allowed them to discover new and fascinating mathematical principles.
Without a doubt, a very peculiar problem, which personally brought me a lot of curiosity to know!

Sharing = earning
1,000,000 views = € 1,000
100,000 views = € 100
10,000 views = € 10
1,000 views = € 1
500 views = € 0.50
250 views = € 0.25
100 views = € 0.10
50 views = € 0.05
25 views = € 0.025
10 views = € 0.01
And much more

Very interesting is science and mathematics. This is a rather complicated issue and if scientists have not been able to give a solution, haha, imagine one.

For me it was a very tedious thing to understand but you learn a little. Physics is not my means. 😬😂
