An interesting corollary to this is that even if the future trajectory of a general 3-body orbit is predictable in theory using numerical methods (and infinite precision calculations), in practice the use of finite-precision floating point means that after some time the trajectory predicted by an ODE solver will diverge from the mathematically-true trajectory. Even symplectic integrators have this problem. More details on the general case of chaos are provided by this insightful blog post:
