Stability of the Solar System
Garett Brown and Hanno Rein of the University of Toronto published a numerical integration study of the Solar System, demonstrating the chaotic nature of Mercury's orbit. Their research revealed that a tiny error in measuring Mercury's current position would prevent accurate prediction of its orbital eccentricity beyond 200 million years in the future.
