More about the book
Set in 1889, the narrative follows French physicist-mathematician Henri Poincaré as he confronts the unsolvable problem of three bodies under gravitational influence. His realization that the problem leads to unpredictable outcomes marks the dawn of chaos theory, a concept that remained largely unexplored for nearly 90 years. Interest in chaos theory surged around 1980, leading to a wealth of research and publications, establishing it as a pivotal area in modern science alongside advancements in superconductivity and superstring theory.
