    --
    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.

    Well, I guess, many people have experienced that same problem before. Two bodies gravitating toward each other works out fine; but if a third or even more bodies get involved, things tend to get messy and feelings are hurt.

      In the toxic monogamous culture of most societies, sure. But there are bodies who learned to think in a different way where they recognize each body has its own freedom, and they can, ahem... gravitationally... interact between each other just fine ;)

    Highly recommended the book "three-body problem" that is mentioned in this video. I read the Chinese version first a couple years ago, and it's just fascinating, especially the second of the series, which unveils a theatrical formulation (a.k.a. Dark Forest) of the interactions between civilizations in the universe. Although it's a sci-fi, most of what described in this series actually have scientific basis are within reasonable possibility.
    Anyway, the English version translated by Ken Liu is great in term of quality, still highly recommended if you can't read the original version in Chinese.

      In my vision of that machine (I was still a kid), the Solar system's planet orbit a fixed setting as if an axle was lodged into the center (not the Sun itself nor the mass of the machine). The planets will act as a centrifuge while the sun provides solar energy. The asteroids and the other bodies floating within and around will be harvested and mined for their resources. Eventually the other planets will also become mined and harvested for their resources, their core or in theory will be used much like the sun or whatever properties energy can be extracted from them.
      At that age, I just discovered what an engine was and learned recently about the Solar System; I combined them in my head.

      Frankly, only robots should care beyond 500 million years in the future, because the Sun will heat up enough that Earth will become unlivable after that. This is not the Sun going Red Giant in 5000 million years, just slightly hotter from retained heat, moving up the Main Sequence. The only way to avoid that is to gradually move Earth out, and only Larry Niven has had the balls to do that, and maybe Olaf Stapleton.

      @@FinGeek4now That, unfortunately, is open to much debate. Far more debate than a comment section on TH-cam could hold.

    • @FinGeek4now
      @FinGeek4now หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@johnmanno2052 It's not a huge debate tbh, as we don't know what we don't know. Have someone put an object into a sealed box, then bring it to you. Your objective is to state what is inside the box without opening it or asking what it is, etc.. Quite the unsolvable problem? Not hardly, as anyone that can see in four+ dimensions will tell you exactly what is inside the box and then wonder how you cannot solve such a simple problem. Does that mean you'll never be able to perform the problem? Not necessarily - someday we may very well advance far enough down the technological path that we'll be able to have higher dimensional probes which can see in higher dimensions than what we are capable of naturally. In the case of the 3BP, we're missing something(s) and until we find what we're missing, we won't be able to solve the orbital dynamics. That is a far cry from saying that it is unsolvable and that it cannot be solved. A better qualified statement would be that, "The 3BP cannot be solved using our current models."

    I think I've read somewhere that since there is no analytical solution there is no way to count backwards where the bodies were in the past. Certain locations with certain velocities could come about several ways and there is no telling which one that actually happened even though there is only one deterministic way forwards in time. That has always seemed mysterious to me.

    Every time you add a new variable, it changes the whole… Honestly, the more and more we find out about the universe, the more our solar system seems really unique… and Earth as a protected pearl between an insanely unique pairing of orbital bodies almost designed to be that way… Which in the chaos of the universe seems strangely weird…
    There are many factors beyond our solar system placement though that seem to be protecting us…
    our section of the galactic arm seems to be somewhat emptied in comparison, while our placement in the arm gives us Sun lifetime and beyond ability without major outer solar system debris interaction…
    the great attractor seems to be pulling everything in near proximity…
    All of these bodies are powerful enough to effect us, but don’t destroy us…
    It’s possible that these events happened, and because of our creational blueprint, we just happened to benefit to the point of our statistically amazing stability. But, its not unthinkable for some sort of existential force to have designed it to be this way, with a preconceived knowledge of future; either through precognitive event/ability or just a fair enough calculated out equation…

    Very fascinating, honestly a reminder of how far we have come and how far we have to go. But on the topic of that experiment, I don’t think that we are unstable, or that insane unforeseen possible endings are so close to being real. I think that if it we were in a universe where Mercury was less than a millimeter away, we would have needed a whole completely different series of events for that to happen, from the beginning of our solar system, to our universe, to the beginning of time, in a way that it is and was physically impossible to reach that ending, that there was no way that Mercury could be 1 millimeter different, because if that were true the laws of physics would have had to be different, fate of cause and fate of circumstance in our universe seemingly with endless varieties but truly only one; the only reason we perceive free will and change is because of our limited perception of time and the respectively infinite amount of variables that go into every event of time.

      "the only reason we perceive free will and change is because of our limited perception of time and the respectively infinite amount of variables that go into every event of time"

    Been playing around with Universe Sandbox for the past 15 years or so and you can definitely explore these things. My recent sim is adding a sun like star 1 AU from the sun and seeing what happens. So far after a few months, ice caps have melted, Venus is being yeeted out of the solar system and Mars has carbon dioxide oceans. I highly recommend Universe Sandbox if you enjoy planetary and gravitational simulations.

    I love the gravity "games" moons of Saturn play with each other. This too is a variant of the three-body problem, where one body is much much heavier than the other two. The radio of their orbits and the times they take for full revolution are proportional to each other in the exact same way as was described by Pythagoras thousands of years ago. The music of the spheres.

    This is an excellent video for anyone interested or trying to understand the issues with the problems presented.
    Great video! Not convoluted, stays on point and explains the issues perfectly
