Now,
That's actually not a bad thing.
It's a really good thing.
And let me explain why.
So it's an odd thing that Maxwell's theory and Newton's theory
never exhibit this phenomena.
You write them down, you can solve them exactly.
They're really Newton's theory of gravity.
They're really very simple theories.
You can solve them.
Well, you can't solve the three-body problem, but you can certainly solve a lot of things about them.
Nevertheless, there was never any reason
even though Maxwell and Newton perhaps fell for this trap, there were never any reason to think that these equations were exact.
And there's no equation.
Well, there's some equations that we've written down that we still think are exact.
Some people still think are exact.
My view is that there's no exact equation.
We could discuss that, but that's a different thing.
We wouldn't say Newton's theory was wrong.
It had very, very small corrections, incredibly small corrections.
