Three-Body Problem
The three-body problem is a famous unsolved problem in physics. Three masses interact gravitationally, creating chaotic, unpredictable motion.
Unlike two bodies (which follow simple ellipses), three bodies have no general closed-form solution - their paths must be computed step by step.
