Why is the 3 body problem, a problem?

888 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

I was in physics and had a brief conversation on chaos theory and we started talking about space and he briefly mentioned about the 3 body problem.

Thing is, everything interacts with other things for a reason right? I understand it’s complicated, but if you know all the necessary data, why can’t we do it?

It isn’t a math problem, it’s a physics problem. Because you cannot know all the necessary data. It’s impossible.
