Sussman invented chaos

Name: Anonymous 2010-09-17 15:14

In 1988, Sussman and Wisdom found data using the Orrery which revealed that Pluto's orbit shows signs of chaos, due in part to its peculiar resonance with Neptune.

If Pluto's orbit is chaotic, then technically the whole Solar System is chaotic, because each planet, even one as small as Pluto, affects the others to some extent through gravitational interactions.

Pluto is a "dwarf planet", not a "planet".

Why does science reporting have to be so crap?

It's not that bad... it doesn't contain a half-baked retelling of the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics, and there's no mention of anthropic principle.
