a. It was already established one of the root causes was our lack of understanding the physics. And he pointed out we can't yet solve the 3-body problem.

No it wasn't established. The only issue is a mathematical one. We understand the physics of the 3-body problem perfectly.[/quote]

But the issue at hand is whether we can have an accurate simulation of a physical system, not if we can understand it perfectly.

At any given point we know the gravitational forces between any of the bodies.[/quote]

And we don't know how to integrate them.

You simply don't understand this.[/quote]

Now you are being rude and I stopped reading.

Please, somebody close this thread: It had little promise to begin with and I can't imagine anything good coming from it at this point.
