Netflix’s highly anticipated 3 Body Problem hit our screens in March amid a fanfare of publicity. But what is the scientific problem both the series is named for?
Interesting article, I had no idea about this problem of the three bodies, I had not even imagined it, I am reading it more carefully because in stellar fields I did not imagine that this problem could occur.
Good article, to understand more about the cosmos.
It's not a bad show, aside from the fact there's not actually much science in it, the "genius" Oxford physicists look and act more like instagram influencers than scientists, and the "once in a generation" astrophysicist of the group rarely says anything that a mildly curious undergrad couldn't parrot (and which I heard myself, more or less, 20+ years ago)..but it's not really about science, more like how terrible the cultural revolution was, which is good for a western audience, since most people are ignorant of Chinese history and how insane it's been.
