Ralph Abraham was always looking for the big picture (lookout.co)
The late UC Santa Cruz icon Ralph Abraham was a prominent name in chaos theory mathematics, and a counterculture seeker of big truths. But he never viewed math as a separate arena from his search for transcendence. It was central to his conception of reality.

'Islands' of regularity discovered in the famously chaotic three-body problem (phys.org)
When three massive objects meet in space, they influence each other through gravity in ways that evolve unpredictably. In a word: Chaos. That is the conventional understanding. Now, a researcher from the University of Copenhagen has discovered that such encounters often avoid chaos and instead follow regular patterns, where one of the objects is quickly expelled from the system. This new insight may prove vital for our understanding of gravitational waves and many other aspects of the universe.
