The Trisolaran system of the Three-Body Problem could never evolve life
<p>I have been reading the Three-Body Problem trilogy by Chinese science fiction author Cixin Liu which is soon to become a Netflix series. I want to talk about some of the physics in the first book. If you don’t want any spoilers for that book, do not read any further.</p>
<p>In the book, a fictional exchange takes place between a species dubbed the Trisolarans and Earth. One of the primary drivers for the book’s plot is that the Trisolarans live in a solar system with three suns. Orbital dynamics of three masses that are close in mass and distance from one another is chaotic. That means that these stars would not behave in any predictable way.</p>
