Chaos is the mode of operation for the universe. That makes the accuracy and precision of orbit modeling beyond a certain amount of time nearly impossible.A new study suggests our predictions about the path of objects circling the sun may not go as far as previously thought.In a chaotic system, tiny fluctuations add up to major impacts over a long period of time.
Regardless of what stock market analysts, political pollsters and astrologers might say, we can’t predict the future. In fact, we can’t even predict the past. So much for the work of Pierre-Simon Laplace, the French mathematician, philosopher and king of determinism. In 1814, LaPlace declared that if it were possible to know the velocity and position of every particle in the universe at one particular moment — and all the forces that were acting on them — “for such an intellect nothing would be
Passing stars may have altered Earth's orbit, and its climate, many times throughout cosmic history. New research digs into what that means when it comes to understanding our planet's past.
Intruding stars may have thrown Earth's orbit off-kilter in the past, causing shifts in our planet's climate, a new study suggests.
