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 that orbit each other in space and calculating their subsequent trajectories using Newton's laws of motion and Newton's law of universal gravitation. Unlike the two-body problem, the three-body problem has no general closed-form solution. Wikipedia
