>As I understand it we can run computer simulations that can show what happens with 3 bodies rotating around each other.
I watched a show where they used the same simulation program to simulate the 3 body problem on three different computers. One was 16 bit, one was 32 bit and one was 64 bit. And the program ran differently on each. Even though it was the same exact program. So it all depends on what computer you run the simulation on. But there is not a single answer, which is why it's unsolvable.
