Netflix's "3 Body Problem" is based on a science-fiction trilogy and follows a group of physicists. We asked an astronomer and an aerospace engineer to explain some of the show's scientific concepts.

The implication is that while we may be able to find a mathmatical solution to these problems, said solutions will never actually reproduce the exact physical result that we see by experiment. at best ...
