|    The Three-Body Fortune:    |

      From: julianlzb87@gmail.com              What You Name Things Matters, how you treat people matters and why your       day is a dynamical system, how to avoid thing you don't want, and why       what looks like luck is really a navigational skill                     There is a problem in physics that has haunted mathematicians since       Newton. Three masses in space, each pulling on the other two through       gravity. Unlike two bodies — which orbit each other in neat, predictable       ellipses — three bodies produce trajectories that are exquisitely       sensitive to the tiniest change in starting conditions. Henri Poincaré       proved in 1890 that there is no general solution. The system is       deterministic. It follows fixed laws. And it is, in any practical sense,       unpredictable.              You are a three-body problem.              Not metaphorically. Not loosely. Structurally. You are three masses in       mutual gravitational interaction, and the dynamics of your day — whether       it soars, spirals, or collapses — follow the same mathematics...              https://mattkilcoyne.substack.com/p/the-three-body-fortune              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
