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

1.25K 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’m just wondering why an advanced alien race needs to solve the problem at all.

They made sophans.

Why didn’t they just send those to spectate the suns and send back live data?
