Your comment sounds quite disrespectful. I would say that they are perfectly aware of what chaotic behavior is.

- phkahler 7y agoAs others have pointed out, I was basing that not on the paper, but the summary linked here. It sounds like some new fundamental physics insight about time reversibility, when in fact it's just the old chaos stuff. Given that impression, it deserved a little snark and should not even be here. But apparently that's actually a lot of what it's about, in which case the authors are well aware - but it's still not very interesting then. The Lorenz attractor is is simpler than a 3-body system and will exhibit similar divergence.
