It's true - the Lyapunov exponent shows that even arbitrarily close points in the system's phase space become separated by exponentially larger distances in time. So even with a computer the size of the universe, you can't really go further than 14 days. I'd highly recommend this Omega Tau podcast episode if you're interested in hearing more about chaos and predictability: http://omegataupodcast.net/119-chaos/ |
