In the centuries that followed, this three-body problem became one of the most famous questions in mathematics. Although the dynamical systems he has studied appear contrived, they suggest that it may be worth looking for a similar level of complexity in, say, the so-called three-body problem, which concerns the complicated motions of three gravitationally interacting objects. |
