that some planets were not following the perfect, newtonian elliptical orbits, especially the planet uranus, so they theorized that its orbit must have been upset by some other body, and then using differential calculus, they were able to actually calculate the orbit of an unknown orb. the mathematicians said, "point your telescope here and you will find it." and so, in 1846, there it was. neptune became the first planet to be discovered based on mathematical prediction rather than mere observation. the late 19th century was, in fact, alive with such scientific triumphs, and royal prizes were offered for solutions to the most challenging mathematical problems. one such challenge was introduced by the king of sweden in 1888. he offered a prize to anyone who could solve the so-called three-body problem. in layman's terms, the king asked, "does newton's two-body solution, the simple elliptical motions of a single planet around a massive sun, can we do the similar prediction for me than two bodies?" one of the greatest mathematicians and scientists of all time took up the king's challenge: jule

saturn, that's right and the other one is uranus, neptune, okay. rings, moons that have gotten too close and just simply got ripped apart, they are whole lot of boulders and they're just all spinning around. that's what they are. tidal forces can be enormous when you are very, very close to something because the difference in pull between near and far might be greater than the force with which everything is held together with. makes sense? so tidal forces don't occur too much for long, long distances but for short distances where the difference in pulls is a lot, the tidal forces can be enormous. we don't get the same depth of tide every day. some days, the tide is higher and lower than others and the reason for that is because both the moon and the sun are pulling at the same time. you see, if i have the moon pulling here and i have the sun out here pulling in the same direction, that's going to make these bulges even more. the sun contributes about 1/4 as much influence as the moon. i mean, it's still as big, okay? so when they're lined up, you g
