What is the three body problem? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice break down why the three body problem is unsolvable and what makes it mathematically chaotic.

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 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.
  • 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.

    Isaac Newton solved it in a cave! With a box of apples!

    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.
  • "where is your gravitational allegiance?" with no context is my new fav question to ask people
  • I love it how Chuck sometimes says "Gotcha" but his face tells you "I don't get it" 😃
  • The three body problem nicely explains why the moment your gf entertains someone else, and you act up, she leaves with him.

    "i had no need of that hypothesis" Still one of the best burns in history.

    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….”
  • Watch 3 Body Problem!!! SUCH an awesome sci-fi story!!! The first season barely even scratches the surface!
  • Ive seen this video like ten times. I understand it the first but NDT and his pal are so compelling and entertaining that I can watched it multiple times and not be bored.

    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.
  • I love how Neil LOVES explaining stuff and the other guy (I don't know his name) loves listening and agreeing. They are perfect for each other

    Restricted 3 body problem happens in the Triple star system of Centauri. Alpha Centauri A, B and proxima centauri.
