Are Orbits like this even POSSIBLE?!

We like to imagine of gravitational orbits as the conic sections: circles, ellipses, etc. That's only for two-body problems though. Let's take a look at three-body problems (and beyond) using Newtonian mechanics as well as General Relativity. How weird can orbits actually get?

    *Minor Correction 1:* The elliptical tunnel at 1:37 is a little sloppy. If the squirrel is of typical squirrel-mass, then the bottom of the ellipse should dip farther down so that the center of the Earth is at a focus of the ellipse. If the squirrel is _abnormally massive,_ then the ellipse's location is fine (but the Earth should also be orbiting the focus on its own smaller ellipse). *Minor Correction 2:* I've been told that the prefix "peri-" means "around" or "about" as opposed to "close." I think all 3 of those English words mean the same thing given the context, but I acknowledge and respect your pedanticism 😉

Some of the stars will eventually get kicked out of the cluster in pairs and become their own binary system.

    Hey! I have a masters degree in mathematical and theoretical physics and have just started my career as a physics teacher, and I have to say that what is great about this channel is just how brief and straight to-the-point these explanations are, and yet they are precisely correct. I’ve seen too many YT videos that try to explain the things that you explain, but they don’t include the important deep, fundamental details that you manage to integrate into your videos, which I find awesome. You’re clearly extremely knowledgeable, as being able to explain these concepts as simply as you do in these videos requires a much greater level of understanding - one which I haven’t managed to achieve quite yet. Like you, I need to keep studying. Keep it up!

But i want to point out to you that using methods like he does or explaining things like he does or channel's similar to this and Kursgesagt, etc, is something students would enjoy more than Anything. I remember in my school during my last years there were a few teachers that decided to do this as well, however the students seemed to come from the depths of hell, and the teachers would leave the next year. I want to give you the advice that if you haven't settled your teaching position already, just always be aware if the school your applying for is worth it, seeing a teacher being used for their kindness or skill is something i've come across one too many times and i especially don't want the same to happen to you. I do believe that you have your priorities straight and you're probably aware of toxic, bait and switch systems that employer's can use, but i'd rather inform you even when it's a bit late, just in case because i admire your perseverance. I hope you're doing well and that everything i said wasn't useless.

    1) Maybe they just solve them numerically like I did for this video 🤷‍♂️ 2) Since massive things move more through time than they do through space, they're more affected by time curvature. 3) It works just like you've described. It's just that we can't write down the math for it on paper because it's too complicated. 4) No, gravitons are still possible. That's a completely different model for gravity, one that works with QFT. The problems is we've never gotten any of those models to match reality.

    I've been following your channel unregularily from the early beginning from a kind of average / mediocre channel to now regularly what it is today. The improvement is truly impressive. What I especially like is your tendency of going from simple problems to generalization and solutions on a more abstract level. You do that far better than anyone else. The only thing I have to criticize is the lack of maths. Otherwise: great development. The time watching you is well spent. BTW, the last episode (before this one) was wasn't weird, but probably the best you ever made.

    Speaking of black hole light orbits, I've often wondered whether, in principle, you could position your spaceship at just the right distance from a black hole to fire a laser against its rotation so that the light comes back to you with more energy than you emitted. Just from the exchange of momentum I mean.

    I don't know about _against_ the rotation. That's not even possible inside the ergosphere. I do know that we can use light to extract energy from a black hole. That's a real thing. The black hole's spin would slow down as the energy was extracted.

    This video has blown my mind completely . Nick my mentor this was the best video ever on your channel and there was everything new to learn. Well the reason of weird orbits near a neutron star and blackholes is due to continuous gravitational waves and the procession of perihelion is due to frame dragging well the usual 2D representation of curved space-time is wrong .Write 3D representation of curved space-time on KZread and you will see how the real curvature looks like . One thing which I noticed the most is that the wavy oribit of earth-moon system around the sun is somewhat similar to the wavy bohr orbit of electron around the neucleus . The weirds 3D orbits around neutron stars and blackholes reminded me of the weird orbitals of electrons around nucleus and i think that in quantum spin the dezhanibekov effect (tennis racket theorem /intermediate axis theorem) is involved . This can be the result of weird electron orbitals around the nucleus . Sir I request you to make another video on gravitational waves with true 3D representation in terms of both vector fields and 3D curved space (right representation) and also please make a video on frame dragging . A topic on which there is no video on KZread is Ehrenfest paradox (relativistic rotating disc) and bell's spaceship paradox . Please also make a video on relativistic aberration of light and relativistic hall effect (relativistic rolling wheels)

    The Science Asylum is a great channel. Thanks Nick. You also made a video on quantum spin. Can you cover this fact bumping in my mind. Quantum spin must be the consequence of Dzhanibekov effect ( intermediate axis theorem ) . I will soon send you a link on this topic. Your job is to somehow relate or separate Dzhanibekov effect and quantum spin. I hope you will do it . I actually came up with this idea because Dzhanibekov effect is (according to me) the biggest proof of the existence of quarks.

But that was quiet unintuite we know how the 3D space is curved near a massive body but the fact you told us that time is curved actually fused my mind and I am totally confused how can time be curved. One major misconception is that you showed 2D curved space-time diagram in this video with one space and one time axis . But I have a request and wish if you can fulfill it. Please demostrate that vast concept of curved space-time in 3D space-time diagram with 2 axis for space and one for time. Please nick I wish to visualize this 😭😭😭.
