I just like to ask mathematicians why the haven't provided a general solution to the three body problem. I mean, it's only three things, there's no way it's that difficult. How can you be a mathematician if you can't even get past three???

KlingonHipster@Jumpmed @scottmichaud @codinghorror well, you just remove one of the bodies. the problem therefore reduces to a previously solved case, and we are done. man, physics is easy
