Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Is there a solution to the 3 body problems of objects of unknown masses?
« on: 14/06/2016 22:36:32 »
It was proved by Bruns and Poincaré in 1887 that the general case does not have an analytical solution. If you take three bodies of unknown masses, starting in general orbital positions, then you don't have a solution.
Maybe I did not word the problem correctly, if so please help.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
