Summary
Description3bodyproblem.gif |
English: A system of 3 bodies interacting gravitationally is (famously) chaotic. A system of 3 bodies interacting elastically isn't. Time in this animations is increasing from top right to down left along the diagonal, to show the evolution of the two systems. |
