I’ll dehydrate until you get this sorted

Someone should write a book about this....

My lord the stable era will last for ONE….. second

I'll just wait for someone to re-hydrate me when the chaotic era is over

The three stars are also orbiting each other in insane patterns.

Trisolaris has entered Chaotic Era. Billions must dehydrate!

the only thing this doesnt take into account is that, everything is moving - not only the middle dot

If I was a dehydrated alien, would you still love me?

If i told you you had a 3 body problem would you hold it against me?

Yeah, that would be a caothic era of two weeks, an estable era of a year and a half, a caothic era of twenty eight months and six days, an stable era of five days, a caothic era of nine weeks, an stable era of fifty seven years, and a caothic era of forty five years. *Trust me, my calendar knows no mistakes*

Honestly looks like the human heart near the end

We’re never going to make it to the Bronze Age again

Trisolaris orbit is amazing

It's actually a 4 body problem. Even though the planet exerts a very small force on the stars, it is there. Therefore, it must be factored into the problem. Instead of only focusing on the movements alone, it would seem necessary to consider the forces each body exerts to predict the reaction of each body to one another. Just so everyone knows, I received a PHD in I don't know what TF I'm talking about. You're welcome.

Brilliant ! Just finished the 1st book, great stuff.

Its like asking my wife what she wants for dinner

The 3 body problem is more complex than it seems, with the discovery of a forth variable that is quasi-chaotic and, at best, discontinuous in function: the futures market for ink.

This is wayyyy harder when the three bodies also move, and orbit around a galactic center

No one is thinking about how this planet became habitable these conditions

I’m glad to see a lot of these comments are fellow book fans and not just coming from the Netflix adaptation 😅 loved both tho :)

Trisolar syzygy 💀

This would look cool on a t-shirt

If this is the unsolved 3 body problem, then children in my neighborhood have solved it multiple times..😂😂

You also need to consider the gravitational force the suns would have on each other. This is a fantastic diagram of the problem of 3s. However, there is much more chaos in a 3 body problem than there is in this diagram. Much love, and God bless. Edit: punctuation error.

The percentage of me that is alien has been experiencing random periods of dehydration.

Three flying stars 😢

This is actually four body problem with three fixed bodies.

The three-body problem is a classic challenge in celestial mechanics that involves predicting the motion of three celestial bodies interacting through gravitational forces. It has been a subject of study for centuries, dating back to the time of Newton, and remains an important area of ​​research due to its complexity and importance in understanding planetary systems and galactic dynamics. In this problem, gravitational forces between three objects are taken into account, leading to a coupled system of ordinary differential equations (odes) that describe the positions and velocities of the objects over time. The gravitational force between two objects is given by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Unlike the simpler two-body problem, which has analytical solutions that describe the motion of two bodies under the influence of gravity, the three-body problem lacks general analytical solutions. this is due to the inherent complexity and nonlinearity of the interactions between the three bodies. As a result, numerical methods are often used to approximate solutions numerically. Numerical methods involve discretizing differential equations and integrating them over time to predict the motion of objects. Various numerical techniques such as Euler's method, Runge-Kutta methods or adaptive step size methods are used to solve the ode system and simulate the behavior of the three-body system. One of the most striking aspects of the three-body problem is its chaotic behavior. Even under simple initial conditions, the motion of objects can become quite unpredictable and sensitive to small changes. This chaos arises from the nonlinear nature of gravitational interactions and has profound consequences for understanding the dynamics of planetary orbits and galactic structures. Studying the three-body problem has important applications in astrophysics, celestial mechanics and space exploration. Understanding the dynamics of three-body systems is crucial for modeling planetary motion, predicting celestial events such as gravitational waves, and planning space missions to explore distant regions of the universe. Overall, the three-body problem represents a fundamental challenge in theoretical and computational physics, pushing the boundaries of our understanding of complex dynamical systems and the behavior of gravitational forces in the cosmos.

How the hell can a super advance race even evolve in such conditions lol

I want this as a painting

This looks like something i used to draw as a kid, when I'm in a trance and thinking about other worldly stuff. "Weird" is what my parents call me.

Kinda takes the shape of a human heart... 👀

I think I’ll dehydrate when things are stable…

San-Ti: we are absolutely cooked

Good. Now give me the formula and initial vectors please.

@Daniel Chow, why is it useless? I thought it was illustrating the problem of having 3 gravitational forces from stars\planets that exert their gravity onto the planet\body in question and how it translates it's orbit? It might be taking liberties on exactly how it behaves, but I think it's a wonderful simulation and worth the time to put it up on KZfaq. Thank you for making this. No disrespect intended. Just curious.

if there is no solution to the 3 body problem, then you can't make a formula or equation to plot their orbit, right?

The orbit even goes through the solar bodies 😂

I want this on my wall

If the aliens were so great to build a sophon.why can’t they just blew up at least one star

It would look more realistic if it was made in 3D.

This seems to be under the assumption that the stars are not moving, which is never the case. A 3 body star system would be highly involved that wouldn't be easily drawn in 2D.

Lovely sounds.

"Physics doesn't exist"

Discover quantum telecommunication and spy on the alien countering their move to spy. Also you need to have an orbit mass equation to run the sequence right. And a three point torus would have a center of gravity to orbit the stars in seasons

The center of mass between the 3 stars would never be stationary. 1 of the 3 stars would eventually crash into the other or fly off somewhere else.

Like the book and everything, but I seriously doubt the Alpha Centauri system is this chaotic. Proxima is around 10000 AU out from A and B, and likely just orbits them as if it's a binary system.

Can someone please explain this lol. I'm watching this show on Netflix and have minimal idea what it's about. What problem is it that we're facing?

De-hy-drate sighs

Looks like the main problem is that you immediately get thrusted into the nearest sun and the planet dies, unless the suns move JUST perfectly enough for long enough which doesn’t seem probable

The problem is the heart. -Agape

Planet destroyed on the first pass. Straight through the sun

Yup that’s a stable era of approximately 5 years (Gravity proceeds to fucking flip, killing everyone

Just wake me up after the bunker era.

did you have it draw a simulation?

So you’re telling me for 40 generations…heh, ain’t no way

If we agree that there was a big bang ; and the notion (proof?) that the universe is still expanding, then all the forces keeping them separate will eventually stop, right? At that point, the system will begin to collapse on itself. I feel like this model assumes waaay to much perfection and imagination with the assumption that the one "particle" that's orbiting has no influence outside of the 3 stars. Please correct me

I have no idea what this is, but it looks cool!

Why does the arm place the smaller dot beneath one point as opposed to a random start from the other two dots…I’m wondering & whom is doing the movement.

It's a wonder how the orbits of our solar system seem so stable. It's usually explained away with the mass of the Sun being very much larger than all masses orbiting it combined. Howerver, the nearest stellar object that could have any gravitational influence on our solar system is 4 light years away. Probably just far enough for its influence to be negligible.

cool, the only problem is that the speed is costant but the body orbiting changes speed : )

Ironically you’ve drawn my face when someone has tried to explain this to me.

How would intelligent life even have a chance to evolve on a planet going thru all that calamity?

"We have definitively proven that there is no solution for the Three-Body Problem"

You are welcoming us!!😅

This is just the planet's orbit changing between 3 stars. What about the changing orbits of the 3 stars among themselves?

It's not reality because thats is possible to 2 dimension but 3 dimension case is different

Oh my jesus with this.. its like it was just discovered yesterday

At some point, would it just go out of orbit or be crash/ broken into two halves

So, who is spinning around who?

It's all chaotic eras.

Its hilarious to think life even gets a start, but still, super entertaining.

I’d literally buy a t-shirt with that last image on it

That’s if the three bodies weren’t moving though, right?

Whoooo! So fun!

This whole experience is chaotic...🥴

That looks like the 3 bodies is stationary😅 and the planet just bouncing from one star to the next.

Looks pretty stable to me

Nailed it!

This would sell for millions at an art gallery

Chaotic era and stable era ... Totally new concept to me

The solution to the 3 body problem is simple, you just have to add a fourth body with the average mass of all 3 bodies to the system. That's how you achieve stable era.

I do believe this is a cool design.

That planet just kept going through those suns.

Has anybody confirmed this with Niel?

This bugs me for some reason but I don't know why

Теперь понятен смысл одноимённого сериала🎉

Bro, just make perfect circles.

This explains exactly the concept of the three body problem a planet that is doomed orbited by three star suns Gravitational pull in various directions out of order

Apparently Trisolaris' first motion takes it into the heart of the upper sun, thus the rest of the pattern is meaningless doodles! :)

Understood👍🏻

My mind on a Monday morning:

Explicação perfeita sobre o problema dos 3 corpos

that mean a pure chaos , with no definite solution

I love the fact Isaac Newton tried to come up with a mathematical formula to resolve the issue, according to his laws of gravity. Then 100 years later Einstein comes along and says ‘oh by the way the very space the stars are travelling through is almost like a liquid and the stars can shed energy through gravitational waves and other space-time effects’ which in essence took an already impossible problem and multiplied it by 10^12

If you were a transformer you'd be able to sell that drawing for $Ms in NY just by wearing a silver jacket and mismatched socks.

My attention span lasted as long as the 9th iteration

Those stars might have attracted each other and exploded already.

everyone gangsta until they find out the star system is real and there is a planet that may have life on it.

Empezó con coherencia, pero después terminó haciendo una loquera
