Classical mechanics problem of three massive point particles interacting via Newtonian gravity; special case of the 𝑛‐body problem for 𝑛=3
In physics, specifically classical mechanics, the three-body problem involves taking the initial positions and velocities (or momenta) of three point masses and calculating their subsequent trajectories using Newton's laws of motion and Newton's law of universal gravitation. It has no general closed-form solution, unlike two-body problems. Wikipedia
