Explore the fascinating world of chaotic three-body systems in this 53-minute lecture by Tjarda Boekholt, a postdoctoral researcher in Physics at the University of Oxford. Delve into the fundamentally unpredictable nature of these gravitational systems and their irreversibility to the Planck length. Gain insights from Boekholt's research, including his paper "Gargantuan chaotic gravitational three-body systems and their irreversibility to the Planck length." Discover the complexities and challenges in predicting the behavior of three-body systems, and understand their implications for our understanding of celestial mechanics and chaos theory. This NCCR SwissMAP presentation offers a deep dive into an intriguing area of physics that pushes the boundaries of predictability and computational limits.
