	<htmltext>I have a solution. We get Martin Landau to lead us on a Moonbase that we construct. Since it is the first moonbase ever, we will call it Moonbase Alpha. We detonate a nuclear weapon on the surface of the moon, causing it to rocket away from the Solar System, like when Wile E. Coyote attaches a bottle rocket to a car. <br> <br>
We launch out of the Solar System and into the galaxy, meeting strange alien beings along the way. We will build shuttlecraft, and call them "Eagles". <br> <br>
Earth crashes into Mars, we move into the deep reaches of space, exploring and adventuring! Let's get started, Martin doesn't have long to live!</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Ok, here's a question: Has this happened in the past?<br> <br>
It doesn't take long playing with <a href="http://www.arachnoid.com/gravitation/" title="arachnoid.com">simple, fun orbit simulators</a> [arachnoid.com] to see that while most planetesimals get glommed, a few get chucked. Escape velocity from the Sun at Mars distance is WAY MORE* (technological term) than Jupiter could perturb. Some things tossed could have 'very long' periods, but still not escape. THAT would be news.<br> <br>
And yes, I am a rocket scientist and yes, I HAVE done the math.<br> <br>
Vcircular * sqrt(2) = Vescape! 41\% is too much, even for Jupiter.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>There are some interesting theorems here, many due to the Russian dynamical-systems mathematician Victor Arnold.  One, from back in the Seventies, says that on an open ("big) set of initial conditions), if you model the planets as points the system is "stable forever" if and only if all of the set of pairwise orbital-period ratios are irrational (hence for any "stable" there are infinitely-close "unstable ICs, and vice versa).  If the planets are modeled as spheres, the system is stable forever if and only if the ratios are a particular kind of irrational number related to the various sphere-radii.
<p>
Another theorem says that on this set of initial conditions, if you are given a power-threshold epsilon, and if you are sufficiently clever in your application of thrust at less than total power epsilon, you can force the system either into stability or out of it.
</p><p>
Note that "rational-vs-irrational-number" is inherently not a measurable phenomenon -- all measurements have a tolerance that includes both kinds of numbers.</p></htmltext>

	<htmltext>This prediction is as meaningless as the one of Mercury falling into the sun in a billion years for the same reasons.<br> <br>

The inner solar system is chaotic with a Lyuapanov time on the order of 5 million years - On average, two very nearby orbits will change their distance between each other in phase-space by a constant in that time. This makes the solar system's future evolution profoundly dependent on initial conditions and integrator accuracy.<br> <br>

First of all it's hard to maintain integration accuracy for more than a few Lyuapanov times, especially when the system has such an enormous dynamic range in mass and characteristic orbital times as the solar system, since this requires that the integrator be exponentially more accurate. The outer solar system is routinely integrated for hundreds of millions of years (and I've run several such simulations myself with a 10th order symplectic integrator) but most simulations of the inner solar system run for a few tens of millions of years at most. A 5 billion year integration of the inner solar system will require that errors be supressed on the order of <i>e^-1000</i>, which is absurd.<br> <br>

Second of all, chaotic systems are also defined by their extreme dependence on initial conditions. Our observational knowledge of the positions of the planets only extends to about 7 digits at best, which makes any simulation in which displacing something by 1 part in e^1000 changes the outcome meaningless. In addition, at such levels of precision other effects come into play - Relativity changes the details of Earth's orbit significantly from the classical prediction after about 10 million years.<br> <br>

You can plug whatever numbers you want into a symplectic integrator and it'll run as long as you want without blowing up, but that doesn't mean the numbers mean anything.</htmltext>

First of all it's hard to maintain integration accuracy for more than a few Lyuapanov times, especially when the system has such an enormous dynamic range in mass and characteristic orbital times as the solar system, since this requires that the integrator be exponentially more accurate.
The outer solar system is routinely integrated for hundreds of millions of years (and I've run several such simulations myself with a 10th order symplectic integrator) but most simulations of the inner solar system run for a few tens of millions of years at most.
A 5 billion year integration of the inner solar system will require that errors be supressed on the order of e^-1000, which is absurd.
Second of all, chaotic systems are also defined by their extreme dependence on initial conditions.
Our observational knowledge of the positions of the planets only extends to about 7 digits at best, which makes any simulation in which displacing something by 1 part in e^1000 changes the outcome meaningless.
In addition, at such levels of precision other effects come into play - Relativity changes the details of Earth's orbit significantly from the classical prediction after about 10 million years.
You can plug whatever numbers you want into a symplectic integrator and it'll run as long as you want without blowing up, but that doesn't mean the numbers mean anything.</sentencetext>

	<htmltext>Please do inform me -- when you say the authors used "powerful new techniques", did they use <i> the Parker-Sochacki solution to the Picard iteration </i>?  You can find a description of the PS-P <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker-Sochacki\_method" title="wikipedia.org">here</a> [wikipedia.org].<p>

I mean, looking at a previous post about using the "SABA4 symplectic integrator15", I'm inclined to think not -- and therefore, I question the validity of the results.</p><p>

The reason I ask, is that I have little faith in the standard numerical models not to mess up the calculations after billions of iterations, and cause numerical precision error to appear to be instability.  The PS-P, on the other hand, is not subject to such problems; if a series does not converge, it becomes obvious.  If it does converge, it becomes obvious just to how many places you have to take it, in order to get the accuracy you want.</p></htmltext>

[Now this is what it's like when worlds collide
Now this is what it's like
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide
Now this is what it's like]

What is it really, That's going on here..
You've got the system for total control..
Now is there any, body out there..
Now watch us suffer yeah cause we can't go.
What is it really that is in your head
What little life that you had just died
I'm gonna be the one that's taking over
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide!

Are you ready to go
Cause I'm ready to go
What you gonna do baby, baby
Are you going with me
Cause I'm going with you
That's the end of all time

What is it really, That motivates you..
This need to fly or this, fear to stop.
I'll go along, when you realise..
When we get there I say 9 to 10 drop
Now who's alive and who is the devil...
You can't decide so I'll be your guide..
And one by one they will be hand chosen..
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide!!

Are you ready to go
Cause I'm ready to go
What you gonna do baby, baby
Are you going with me
Cause I'm going with you
That's the end of all time

(You are a robot)

[Now this is what it's like when worlds collide
Now this is what it's like
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide
Now this is what it's like]

What is it really when they're falling over
Everything that you thought was denied
I'm gonna be the one that's taking over
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide

Are you ready to go
Cause I'm ready to go
What you gonna do baby, baby
Are you going with me
Cause I'm going with you
That's the end of all time!!

Are you ready to go
Cause I'm ready to go
What you gonna do baby, baby
Are you going with me
Cause I'm going with you

Are you ready
Yeah, I'm ready

	<htmltext>Does anyone think our species will even be around in a billion years? I mean that's a long time for some kind of disaster that whipes out mankind. Disease, virus, nuclear war, zombie outbreak, etc. However, if mankind was still around hopefully we would have other planetary colonies to seek refuge. So I don't this is really news.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>...I could win the PowerBall or MegaMillion jackpot if it's actually over $150 million.  And in about the same time as the slight possibility of the Earth, Mars, or Venus change orbit enough to actually collide....

Really...  Isn't this as much as the story some years back when it was shown that using the use of atmospheric breaking causing Jupiter's rotation to lose a second of time over 50,000 or more years?

I call FUD.  Next up..  How to make a tinfoil hat that can stop the CIA's mind control rays.</htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>Actually, this result is a big deal.  First, the authors used powerful new techniques to solve some long-standing problems in these sorts of simulations.  This has allowed them to run simulations far further into the future (or the past) than was possible before.  Second, they included General Relativity and the affects of planetary satellites in their calculations, which improves the precision of their results.  This has not been done before.  Third, this work is the first to put a quantitative time scale on instability in the inner Solar System.  Up until now we knew that the orbits of the inner planets were unstable, but we had no idea how long it would take for those instabilities to lead to major changes in orbital parameters.  Finally, this result has profound implications for the stability of planetary systems in general, which affects the probability of their being Earth-like planets around other stars, and thus the chances of there being animal life out there.  This is a major paper and may become the baseline for this entire sub-field.  It certainly deserved to be published in Nature.  It is too bad that the media chose to glom onto the sensationalist aspects of the story.</p></htmltext>
