The orbits of a trio of stars can be so chaotic that it\u2019s impossible to precisely calculate the stars\u2019 future trajectories. That\u2019s the real science behind the name of the hit Netflix show,\u00a03 Body Problem<\/em>. Much of the sci-fi show\u2019s action hinges on a variety of other physics concepts. But in service of the plot, some of that science is taken to implausible \u2014 or even physically impossible \u2014 lengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get a handle on what\u2019s real and what\u2019s fiction,\u00a0Science News\u00a0<\/em>spoke with cosmologist Jacques Delabrouille of CNRS in Paris and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
