I love that book so much. Currently on the second book and it’s one of the greatest sci-fi series I’ve ever read. Highly recommend it to any fan of sci-fi.
This deserves credit for aesthetics. Beautifully animated, descriptive simple visuals, droning music zones you out and all you hear is the calm voice making it very easy to pay attention. Not saying it's the most unique, just perfectly executed for what it was. Good job creative team
Well, I guess, many people have experienced that same problem before. Two bodies gravitating toward each other works out fine; but if a third or even more bodies get involved, things tend to get messy and feelings are hurt.
In the toxic monogamous culture of most societies, sure. But there are bodies who learned to think in a different way where they recognize each body has its own freedom, and they can, ahem... gravitationally... interact between each other just fine ;)
"In 2009, two researchers ran a simple experiement." Me: Oh, OK what's this simple experiment "They took everything we know about our solar system and calculated where every planet would be up to 5 billion years in the future." Me: HUH

Highly recommended the book "three-body problem" that is mentioned in this video. I read the Chinese version first a couple years ago, and it's just fascinating, especially the second of the series, which unveils a theatrical formulation (a.k.a. Dark Forest) of the interactions between civilizations in the universe. Although it's a sci-fi, most of what described in this series actually have scientific basis are within reasonable possibility. Anyway, the English version translated by Ken Liu is great in term of quality, still highly recommended if you can't read the original version in Chinese.
Thanks for the information about the translation. There are translations in all 3 languages I speak available and it's always a bit of a gamble with translated literature ... there is very little information out there about good vs. bad translations.
The premise of The Dark Forest is sound, but I think the idea that another civilization is more likely to manipulate humanity than directly attack. It would be "quieter."
@@pythonxz About that i have one statement: How we can imagine the motive or the philosophy of Aliens? we can't as they are ALIENS! Simple. Other answer is humanization or an opinion. The dark forest made me realize that my optimistic view of aliens could be very wrong or very true but as we don't know may be we should be more cautious.
It's the same as the 3 ripple affect. Throwing 2 stones in the water can be calculated, but the throwing 3 stones in water will create so complex collisions that it's has almost infinite variables
Ted Ed : Our solar system will be stable for atleast several hundred million years me : 😌 Again Ted Ed : Though If another star is on its way to us , all bets are off me : 😑
But we know were all the nearest stars are so if a star we haven’t seen is heading towards us chances are it’s really far away and will still take a lot of millions of earth years to get here.
In my vision of that machine (I was still a kid), the Solar system's planet orbit a fixed setting as if an axle was lodged into the center (not the Sun itself nor the mass of the machine). The planets will act as a centrifuge while the sun provides solar energy. The asteroids and the other bodies floating within and around will be harvested and mined for their resources. Eventually the other planets will also become mined and harvested for their resources, their core or in theory will be used much like the sun or whatever properties energy can be extracted from them. At that age, I just discovered what an engine was and learned recently about the Solar System; I combined them in my head.
Mad scientist somewhere, “I’ll move Mercury by a few millimeters and destabilize Earths orbit if you don’t give me $100 billion dollars! Mwahahahahahaha!
I guess it's a bit of both as the quote 'scientists were to bothered with could they do it and forgot to check if they should ', so philosophy in terms of ethics is required but also philosophy and in turn opinions of things should be based on some science but freedom of thought should be encouraged to vary ideas
This channel is so amazing. The clarity of its instruction and teaching and the graphics used - it helps both auditory and visual learners. I'm so glad I found this channel!
I think I've read somewhere that since there is no analytical solution there is no way to count backwards where the bodies were in the past. Certain locations with certain velocities could come about several ways and there is no telling which one that actually happened even though there is only one deterministic way forwards in time. That has always seemed mysterious to me.
00:07 - 2 researchers run a simple experiment 1:12 - N - Body Problem 4:34 - Restricted Three Body Problem We hope one day to achieve the level of your channel ♥️ We love you Ted-Ed
It's refreshing to finally see a video that discusses this. Unsolvable problems such as this one are really good reminders that our "knowledge" is not nearly as "certain" as we think, hope, or want.
They're not unsolvable though and you said it yourself, they are just really good reminders that our knowledge is not as certain as we think. We're missing other variables and maths to solve such problems.
@@FinGeek4now That, unfortunately, is open to much debate. Far more debate than a comment section on RUclips could hold. In a very very small nutshell, what I mean by unsolvable is something that has no, and in fact cannot have, a final answer. Which seems to be most nontrivial problems, both material and otherwise.
@@johnmanno2052 It's not a huge debate tbh, as we don't know what we don't know. Have someone put an object into a sealed box, then bring it to you. Your objective is to state what is inside the box without opening it or asking what it is, etc.. Quite the unsolvable problem? Not hardly, as anyone that can see in four+ dimensions will tell you exactly what is inside the box and then wonder how you cannot solve such a simple problem. Does that mean you'll never be able to perform the problem? Not necessarily - someday we may very well advance far enough down the technological path that we'll be able to have higher dimensional probes which can see in higher dimensions than what we are capable of naturally. In the case of the 3BP, we're missing something(s) and until we find what we're missing, we won't be able to solve the orbital dynamics. That is a far cry from saying that it is unsolvable and that it cannot be solved. A better qualified statement would be that, "The 3BP cannot be solved using our current models."
The Trisolarians would tell you how this Three-body problem wrecked their planet! As soon as I saw the video my mind flashed back to Liu Cixin’s trilogy, thanks Ted-Ed for the book rec, more people should know about those books!
The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu is the book that brought me here. I highly recommend reading it as it was the best thing I have read about Sci-Fi this year.
The book recommendation - that's how do you know TED-Ed is a great channel apart from their great content. Fantastic trilogy indeed. I was happy that you presented a topic from a book that blew my mind and really appreciate your spreading the word about it.

Alright. I think it's time we paused and appreciate the animators, script writers, research team and the Ted ed community for making great videos and living up to the bar they've set for educational and information channels.
It's because there're no equations in this video. And, AFAIKT, there's a small load of BS with regards to there being more variables than equations... lol 😊
@@xRokoPL , oops, my bad, I've missed them... At least some of them look legit. I wonder, if all of them are actually related to the N-body problem, though. Doesn't seem like it. On the other hand, it's been many years since I did any differential calculus ☺️
@@konstantin.v I've just finished school and I can tell you that the equations that I understand which are in this video are related to the N-body problem or more generally to the gravitational interaction between bodies. Therefore I think the other ones are related to it as well.
@@iandrsaurri625 Well that is a whole different can of worms. This is news to me. I remember however, there was a rapper who is trying to fund a space craft mission to make a proper observation of the flat Earth. Forgot his name; I guess there are some tthat have different ways of the debate.
Hey! Thanks! It was a composition made specially for this video. The link is here! soundcloud.com/imageaudio7/soundtrack-of-ted-ed-newtons-three-body-problem-explained-fabio-pacucci
Tencent in China has released their adaptation of the book for television called Three Body, while Netflix will release its version called 3 Body Problem in January 2024.
At 1:41, talking about Isaac Newton, it illustrates him with a telescope on another larger being with a telescope because of his quote “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants”. Ted-Ed is omniscientz
The video contains contradictions. The problem is not that there are "open variables" to the system (as otherwise it wouldn't have been deterministic and 2 system with the same known parameter would have been able to cnverge to different solutions). the problem is that we don't have an analytical or not computational cheap way to solve it currently. And because the chaotic nature of the system, inaccurate data might lead us to a really wrong solution.
I was thinking the same thing, if there were too many unknowns, it wouldn't be possible to solve it numerically, but it is. I think they oversimplified that part
Yeah, I don't know anything about this three-body problem, but I don't think that can be correct. There is no mention of that on Wikipedia either. That makes me think that the author is not an expert in this, and makes me highly sceptical of "Ted-Ed" in general. I also doubt that the current solar system, if accounting for just internal gravity, will destabilize within 5 billion years with a probability of anything close to 1/2000.
Even in a closed system (which is never the case), we have several other external factors/forces to consider: - other stars & galactic gravitation - star's fluctuation and life cycle changes (energy bleeding, CMEs, solar wind, etc) - background radiation and smaller star system objects (asteroids, comets, etc) - dark matter/energy (if they are a thing) - general relativity and space/time expansion - chaos theory (uncertainty principles say we cannot even measure that initial states of velocity and position with 100% accuracy, for any of the bodies!) - quantum mechanics may come into play on larger scales in some way (more RNG) So, mathematically, you can model a N-body system, but only from a perfect initial state/start point. Which doesn't exist in practice or reality.
It's not a coincidence. Netflix and Google share our information. How did RUclips know to recommend this video after I just finished binging on Netflix
Very fascinating, honestly a reminder of how far we have come and how far we have to go. But on the topic of that experiment, I don’t think that we are unstable, or that insane unforeseen possible endings are so close to being real. I think that if it we were in a universe where Mercury was less than a millimeter away, we would have needed a whole completely different series of events for that to happen, from the beginning of our solar system, to our universe, to the beginning of time, in a way that it is and was physically impossible to reach that ending, that there was no way that Mercury could be 1 millimeter different, because if that were true the laws of physics would have had to be different, fate of cause and fate of circumstance in our universe seemingly with endless varieties but truly only one; the only reason we perceive free will and change is because of our limited perception of time and the respectively infinite amount of variables that go into every event of time.
" I don’t think " But thats the thing, just because you think it doesnt make it true. We dont know the future, and there are restrictions to what we can know. While its highly unlikley anything would happen(during out lifetime), be certain that it can. "the only reason we perceive free will and change is because of our limited perception of time and the respectively infinite amount of variables that go into every event of time" For free will, I am certain the major factor is the illusion of choice. As for change, what sort of change are we talking about, I change my underwere atleast twice daily but I'm guessing thats not what you mean.
Yes, this is more scientific evidence that it is the atheist who is irrational. A 1 mm change in a million mile orbit can cause havoc and there can’t be an intelligent being behind it all to begin with?
00:5904:56 "Still people want to deny what is yet to come, asking ˹mockingly˺, “When is this Day of Judgment?” But when the sight is stunned, and the moon is dimmed, and the sun and the moon are brought together, on that Day one will cry, “Where is the escape?” But no! There will be no refuge. On that Day all will end up before your Lord." (Al Quran chapter 75 verse 5-12)
It's an extremely popular show that just came out so a lot of people just watched it, and so a lot of people happened to look up videos on it. That dug up this video. People that watched the show are likely to click on this one, since it's from a TedTalk, which is interesting. So, I'm going to guess that they're just recommending this video to a lot of people right now, rather than that they bought your netflix watch history.
While watching TED Ed videos,always used to click like before it starts, because I am very much sure about the content quality and the knowledge being delivered to us through your videos will be informative and wonderful.
It wasn't random, and it didn't start off stable. There used to be at least two more planets, one collided with Earth and the other was catapulted out of the solar system by gravitational interactions with the gas giants.

The Trisolarians would tell you exactly how this Three-body problem ruined their planet! Thanks Ted-Ed for the book rec, as soon as I saw the video my mind flashed back to Liu Cixin’s trilogy.
Alright. I think it's time we paused and appreciate the animators, script writers, research team and the Ted ed community for making great videos and living up to the bar they've set for educational and information channels.
I was looking for all of this information in the past week. Thank you.
These are some best 'learn from home' videos in these times. Keep up the good work TEDEd 👍
This is awesome though I don’t understand most of the equations/variables though.
Lol
It's because there're no equations in this video. And, AFAIKT, there's a small load of BS with regards to there being more variables than equations... lol 😊
@@konstantin.v there are several equations, for example in the background or so
@@xRokoPL , oops, my bad, I've missed them... At least some of them look legit. I wonder, if all of them are actually related to the N-body problem, though. Doesn't seem like it. On the other hand, it's been many years since I did any differential calculus ☺️
@@konstantin.v I've just finished school and I can tell you that the equations that I understand which are in this video are related to the N-body problem or more generally to the gravitational interaction between bodies. Therefore I think the other ones are related to it as well.
I have no idea what he's talking about but the music and animation are so calming 😊❤
The show was WORTH IT!
I love the sound design and visuals on this
Just needed this, was reading about chaos theory and butterfly effect.❤
Do check out Veritasium's video on the subject! Is absolutely stunning.😄💎
I just heard of it in SAT physics.
And the narrator tried his best not to mention it.
what's the name of the books?
I strongly suggest the novel "The Three-Body Problem",it changes my world view and makes me recognize how small are we in this giant universe
Have you ever been to( if moon were a pixel website), universe is mosty empty
All three books in the series are excellent. Even the unofficial fourth book "The Redemption of Time", a work of fan fiction, is a terrific read.
3:54 I wonder how flat-earthers will formulate their own space travel, if the Earth is flat; if other celestial bodies are flat; etc..
They believe we cannot go to space
@@iandrsaurri625 Well that is a whole different can of worms. This is news to me. I remember however, there was a rapper who is trying to fund a space craft mission to make a proper observation of the flat Earth. Forgot his name; I guess there are some tthat have different ways of the debate.
They do not believe other astronomical bodies are flat, just Earth.
@@andrewscott7728 This is really confusing, now. They really have a flat bias against Earth.
The background sound is so calming
Hey! Thanks! It was a composition made specially for this video. The link is here! soundcloud.com/imageaudio7/soundtrack-of-ted-ed-newtons-three-body-problem-explained-fabio-pacucci
This is the best explanation I've heard of the 3-body problem
now i can get a Harvard degree without going to Harvard
Watch Ted Ed
Coursera or Edx
Break into a Harvard graduates home, take the degree, run away. Done =D
Lol
I'm reading the three body problem(fiction) and then this is recommended. Love it.
Didn’t watch Netflix 3 body problem but I am interested since it keeps coming up on my feed after watching a single snippet
The episodes on Netflix is so good. Who’s waiting for season two? ❤
⬇️
Tencent in China has released their adaptation of the book for television called Three Body, while Netflix will release its version called 3 Body Problem in January 2024.
Very well done
4:57 - Dehydrate! Dehydrate!
I highly recommend the trilogy "Three Body Problem", or "Remembrance of earth's past" by Liu Cixin for anyone who into sci-fi.
Reading the first book now, super excited to see this.
At 1:41, talking about Isaac Newton, it illustrates him with a telescope on another larger being with a telescope because of his quote “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants”. Ted-Ed is omniscientz
The video contains contradictions. The problem is not that there are "open variables" to the system (as otherwise it wouldn't have been deterministic and 2 system with the same known parameter would have been able to cnverge to different solutions). the problem is that we don't have an analytical or not computational cheap way to solve it currently. And because the chaotic nature of the system, inaccurate data might lead us to a really wrong solution.
I was thinking the same thing, if there were too many unknowns, it wouldn't be possible to solve it numerically, but it is. I think they oversimplified that part
Yeah, I don't know anything about this three-body problem, but I don't think that can be correct. There is no mention of that on Wikipedia either. That makes me think that the author is not an expert in this, and makes me highly sceptical of "Ted-Ed" in general.
I also doubt that the current solar system, if accounting for just internal gravity, will destabilize within 5 billion years with a probability of anything close to 1/2000.
Even in a closed system (which is never the case), we have several other external factors/forces to consider:
- other stars & galactic gravitation
- star's fluctuation and life cycle changes (energy bleeding, CMEs, solar wind, etc)
- background radiation and smaller star system objects (asteroids, comets, etc)
- dark matter/energy (if they are a thing)
- general relativity and space/time expansion
- chaos theory (uncertainty principles say we cannot even measure that initial states of velocity and position with 100% accuracy, for any of the bodies!)
- quantum mechanics may come into play on larger scales in some way (more RNG)
So, mathematically, you can model a N-body system, but only from a perfect initial state/start point. Which doesn't exist in practice or reality.
here because of netflix
Me too
@@luismarques9736 Me three
😅
Yep.
Same
Who is here from Netflix?
😂✋ guilty as charged
Guilty!!
Gizza
It's not a coincidence. Netflix and Google share our information. How did RUclips know to recommend this video after I just finished binging on Netflix
✋🏽
Very fascinating, honestly a reminder of how far we have come and how far we have to go. But on the topic of that experiment, I don’t think that we are unstable, or that insane unforeseen possible endings are so close to being real. I think that if it we were in a universe where Mercury was less than a millimeter away, we would have needed a whole completely different series of events for that to happen, from the beginning of our solar system, to our universe, to the beginning of time, in a way that it is and was physically impossible to reach that ending, that there was no way that Mercury could be 1 millimeter different, because if that were true the laws of physics would have had to be different, fate of cause and fate of circumstance in our universe seemingly with endless varieties but truly only one; the only reason we perceive free will and change is because of our limited perception of time and the respectively infinite amount of variables that go into every event of time.
" I don’t think "
But thats the thing, just because you think it doesnt make it true. We dont know the future, and there are restrictions to what we can know. While its highly unlikley anything would happen(during out lifetime), be certain that it can.
"the only reason we perceive free will and change is because of our limited perception of time and the respectively infinite amount of variables that go into every event of time"
For free will, I am certain the major factor is the illusion of choice.
As for change, what sort of change are we talking about, I change my underwere atleast twice daily but I'm guessing thats not what you mean.
Pleased that some one has the courage to question this one sided presentation! 😎
It's a chaotic era.
i think this just proves how magnificent and strange our existence is. it seems planned, set into place
Yes, this is more scientific evidence that it is the atheist who is irrational. A 1 mm change in a million mile orbit can cause havoc and there can’t be an intelligent being behind it all to begin with?
3:26 I like what the balls are trying to draw
moustache man
LMFAOOO THATS WHAT U GOT FROM THE VIDEO?
00:59 04:56
"Still people want to deny what is yet to come,
asking ˹mockingly˺, “When is this Day of Judgment?”
But when the sight is stunned,
and the moon is dimmed,
and the sun and the moon are brought together,
on that Day one will cry, “Where is the escape?”
But no! There will be no refuge.
On that Day all will end up before your Lord."
(Al Quran chapter 75 verse 5-12)
Someone send this to ETO.
Lol 🤣
Just binged the show on Netflix, now this is being recommended to me on RUclips
Good to know Netflix is selling my data lol
It’s google
It's an extremely popular show that just came out so a lot of people just watched it, and so a lot of people happened to look up videos on it. That dug up this video. People that watched the show are likely to click on this one, since it's from a TedTalk, which is interesting. So, I'm going to guess that they're just recommending this video to a lot of people right now, rather than that they bought your netflix watch history.
Thank you very much for doing the animation in dark mode.
@ 1:16 he says gravitating asses lol
😅
came here cuz im currently watching 3 Body Problem
1:16 cover up the audio for that part
While watching TED Ed videos,always used to click like before it starts, because I am very much sure about the content quality and the knowledge being delivered to us through your videos will be informative and wonderful.
NO LONGER TRUE...
Now the title of the Netflix show makes sense. I was so intrigued by the title.
Wow.. this makes me marvel at how "casually" our solar system "randomly" achieved its stability... amazing!
It wasn't random, and it didn't start off stable. There used to be at least two more planets, one collided with Earth and the other was catapulted out of the solar system by gravitational interactions with the gas giants.
@@chrisgaming9567 :) this theory reads like science fiction
@@TheOtherViewTherefore, the invisible sky wizard did it!
The early solar system was anything but stable we just got lucky to have the system we currently do.
Me when our school suggests online schooling:
" What? There's no way I would learn with that! It's too difficult!"
Also me: *Listens intently at TedEd vids and actually learns a thing or two*
"Aight.."
What is three-body problem ?
Do not answer!
Do not answer!
Do not answer!
This brings the saying "two's a party three's a crowd" to a whole new level
Muito obrigado por postar um vídeo que aborda um pouco do problema descrito em um dos melhores livros que já li; "O problema dos três corpos". Estava sentido falta de uma explicação melhor e você apresentou muito bem nesse vídeo. Abraços
Just gathering knowledge before watching Netflix’s 3 body problem
Same, haha😂
3:27 is a work of art ❤
Came here after watching 3 Body Problem on Netflix 🤣
You are not alone; just watched one episode and blown away. Did you completed the whole series? if so how is it?
@@MuhammedMajid-l5e Yea completed th entire show. It's amazing!
