"Breakthrough: 12,000 New Solutions Found for the Three-Body Problem"

Researchers from Sofia University in Bulgaria have reported 12,409 orbital patterns for three-body systems that adhere to Newton's laws and have equal masses. While these solutions have not yet been peer-reviewed, they provide valuable insights into the three-body problem. However, most of these solutions have limited real-world applications due to their reliance on precise initial conditions. Nevertheless, the study contributes to the ongoing search for mathematical solutions to explain the stable dance of three celestial bodies and may have potential astronomical relevance if the stability of the solutions is considered in the presence of external influences.
