Is the solar system unstable? Find out about Isaac Newton’s worries about the solar system, Pierre-Simon Laplace’s calculus, and perturbation theory. Would a binary star system be chaotic? What about a star system with three suns? Four suns? Five? Learn about the restricted three body problem and how the Jupiter-Earth-Sun system could be chaotic down the line.

Are you watching “3 Body Problem” on Netflix?
-
I had a three body problem once. Luckily, I know people who discreetly take care of that sort of thing.
-
Goes perfectly with the saying, "Two's company, three's a crowd".
-
I can't watch Neil deGrasse Tyson now without thinking about that Key & Peele skit 🤣🤣
-
I found Neil DeGrasse Tyson in a speaking event streamed on YouTube last year, and then seen him appear in another guest speaking somewhere else (I cannot remember the location, I just remembered the feeling I had when he spoke). Each time I thought he was clever, charismatic, and made things easier to understand when it comes to astrophysics. I'm not anywhere near as smart as most who've commented, but I do have a little more knowledge than I would had I not found this channel.

the small animations in between are really helpful
-
"where is your gravitational allegiance?" with no context is my new fav question to ask people
-
Leibnitz invented calculus. We are still using Leibnitz's symbols how to write integrals. I'm not saying Newton stole his work, but the Brit certainly used his position in the British science academy to make sure everyone credited himself for the invention.
-
Waaaay late to the conversation, but a student of mine wondered if the liquid core of earth acts as a reset of Jupiter's brief pull. Kinda like how pool water eventually settles after you jump in.

Chuck is me in my high school science classes: “right, right, uh huh, it’s the… got it yeah because of the thing — right, okay…. Ahhhh….”
-
I love it how Chuck sometimes says "Gotcha" but his face tells you "I don't get it" 😃
-
For every like I’ll study an hour
-
Exceptionally well-shot content, great audio also. Kudos
-
Isaac Newton solved it in a cave! With a box of apples!
-
"i had no need of that hypothesis" Still one of the best burns in history.
-
Question for Chuck: Do you get a backgrounder first on anything discussed on StarTalk, or do you approach each topic cold like most of the audience does? Really enjoyed this one!
-
Thanks so much for this vulgarisation. It really is great to make these issues understandable for people like me (who suck at Maths and the Hard Sciences). You are a great educator.
-
In June ‘22 I was lucky enough to meet and talk to Neil before a show in London, if anyone is wondering how he is off camera- he is the exact same as this, proper top bloke.
-
All I heard in my head was Christofer Walken saying, “I need more calculus.” 😂😂
-
I love that these two are still doing their thing, and I hope we get to continue watching them educate and entertain the both young and young at heart for many years to come.
