What is the 3 Body Problem in physics? Is there a solution to it?

1.27K viewsOtherPhysics

I recently finished watching the 3 Body Problem on Netflix so this question came to mind. Can anyone explain (in simple terms) why the 3 body problem was deemed unsolvable even by the advanced alien race in the series? Even better, can anyone here simplify what the 3 Body Problem actually is in Physics? It really got my curiosity. Thanks! 🙂

I feel like this TED Ed video explains it pretty darn well, and is an enjoyable watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D89ngRr4uZg
