What is The Three-body Problem from Pythagoras to Hawking about?

This Book, Written For A General Readership, Reviews And Explains The Three-body Problem In Historical Context Reaching To Latest Developments In Computational Physics And Gravitation Theory. The Three-body Problem Is One Of The Oldest Problems In Science And It Is Most Relevant Even In Today’s Physics And Astronomy. The Long History Of The Problem From Pythagoras To Hawking Parallels The Evolution Of Ideas About Our Physical Universe, With A Particular Emphasis On Understanding Gravity And How It Operates Between Astronomical Bodies. The Oldest Astronomical Three-body Problem Is The Question How And When The Moon And The Sun Line Up With The Earth To Produce Eclipses. Once The Universal Gravitation Was Discovered By Newton, It Became Immediately A Problem To Understand Why These Three-bodies Form A Stable System, In Spite Of The Pull Exerted From One To The Other. In Fact, It Was A Big Question Whether This System Is Stable At All In The Long Run. Leading Mathematicians Attacked This Problem Over More Than Two Centuries Without Arriving At A Definite Answer. The Introduction Of Computers In The Last Half-a-century Has Revolutionized The Study; Now Many Answers Have Been Found Whil
