Newton's three-body problem explained

Title:
Newton's three-body problem explained
Speaker:
Fabio Pacucci
Description:

In 2009, researchers ran a simple experiment. They took everything we know about our solar system and calculated where every planet would be up to 5 billion years in the future. They ran over 2,000 simulations, and the astonishing variety in results revealed that our solar system may be much less stable than it seems. Fabio Pacucci explores the n-body problem and the motion of gravitating objects. [Directed by Hype CG, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Gabriel Maia].
