Take a glance at our solar system and beyond, and outer space seems pretty orderly. Our eight planets travel around the Sun with apparent predictability and even the stars themselves appear to march ...

The three-body problem is a physics conundrum that has boggled scientists since Isaac Newton's day. But what is it, why is it so hard to solve and is the sci-fi series of the same name really possible ...

Scientists studying the infamous 3-body problem have discovered certain "islands of regularity" that emerge from the gravitational chaos. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
