Title Chaos Physics
Description In this activity, the learning objectives focus on addressing the three-body problem and identifying the properties of nonlinear dynamic systems that are highly sensitive to variations in initial conditions. The three-body problem will be analyzed in detail, and the specific characteristics and behaviors of dynamic systems that exhibit significant sensitivity to small changes in initial conditions will be explored, using the three-body problem as an illustrative example.
