three-body problem
The "three-body problem" is a theoretical physics problem that involves calculating the motion and interactions of three celestial bodies, typically in a gravitational system, where their paths and positions cannot be exactly determined or predicted precisely over time due to the complexity and sensitivity of the interactions between them.
