    It’s been days since I finished Netflix’s 3-body problem. Still thinking re it from time to time. Not a masterpiece so I’m not suggesting that you watch. But the science concepts tickled me. I <3 physics. The many physics references surprised me. For laypeople, Idk if the many physics references were too many or just right. Idk if someone who doesn’t know much science will be turned off.

    Some readers said books 2 and 3 were great.

        If you have 2 bodies like the Sun and Earth, the motions due to gravity of the Sun and Earth are stable. If you have 3 bodies or more (suppose that the masses are equal), the motions due to gravity are chaotic.

      books talaga dapat mamser

      i don’t even read talaga but the (2nd?) Netflix trailer piqued my curiosity enough that i was able to read the entire trilogy before the last trailer came out

      tho tbh at this point it’d be kinda weird if you start with Book 2 because you’d have to get through the worst parts of the trilogy lmao so idkkk i honestly wish people who could have the patience to read the books read first before seeing Netflix ver :(

        You’re not a very wide reader but you read the trilogy before the last trailer’s release. That says something re Liu Cixin.

        I think some found the trilogy so 👍 that the trilogy sucked them like a vacuum.
