Hey everyone,

I thought I'd coin up this fun problem. I couldn't find the root of the problem in wikipedia. The problem states: "The n-body problem is the problem of predicting the motion of a group of celestial objects that interact with each other gravitationally.".

Now I just made a gravitational simulation in 3dgs with 200 masses roaming happily around... why, according to the problem, wouldn't I be able to determine their paths? If I couldn't predict (or calculate) the next position of each body, I would be unable to create the simulation in the first place...
