About this book

Newton's Clock: Chaos in the Solar System by Peterson, Ivars. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780716723967.

A best-selling author shows how the model of the solar system has changed from Newtons mechanistic theory, predicting clocklike precision and infallibility, to modern chaos theory, which allows for the possibility a planet may one day leave its orbit.
