Researchers crack Newton's elusive three-body problem Hebrew University astrophysicist Dr. Nicholas Stone. Credit: Noam Chai/Hebrew University It's been nearly 350 years since Sir Isaac Newton outlined the laws of motion, claiming "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." These laws laid the foundation to understand our solar system and, more broadly, to understand the relationship between a body of mass and the forces that act...

I'm very suspicious - pretty much every "breakthrough" claimed by Israel turns out to be iffy or indeed false. Some look like boondoggles.

... if all three objects are of a comparable size and distance from the center point, a power struggle develops and the whole system is thrown into chaos. When chaos happens, it becomes impossible to track the bodies' movements using regular math. Enter the three-body problem.

Now, an international team, led by astrophysicist Dr. Nicholas Stone at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Racah Institute of Physics, has taken a big step forward in solving this conundrum. Their findings were published in the latest edition of Nature.

Stone and Professor Nathan Leigh at Chile's La Universidad de Concepción relied on discoveries from the past two centuries ... expel one of the trio

Why announce and link a non-discovery to Israel when its not even an Israeli project?

... the researchers used traditional mathematics to predict the planets' movements. "When we compared our predictions to computer-generated models of their actual movements, we found a high degree of accuracy," shared Stone.

That's gobbldygook. One less than rigorous model matches sort-of matches another less than rigorous model? Gee.

... statistical solutions are still extremely helpful in that they allow physicists to visualize complicated processes.

It has a name:

In quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle (also known as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle) is any of a variety of mathematical inequalities asserting a fundamental limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle, known as complementary variables or canonically conjugate ...

"Take three black holes ... even after one of them gets kicked out" explained Stone. This ability to predict new orbits is critical to our understanding of how these—and any three-body problem survivors—will behave in a newly-stable situation.

More gobbldygook, at least in the form its written!
