In the real universe, we have Alpha Centauri (closest star system to us, 4.5 light years) is a triple star system with possibly a Neptune-like planet in its habitable zone. I've not watched the Three Body Problem so not sure if it's the same system but it sounds eerily similar from your description. 
  
 Sadly, it will take 10,000+ years to reach Alpha Centauri with our current rocket propulsion tech.

I think 2 scientists came up with a solution for 3 body problem in early 2000s which became widely popular where they organised the three bodies in a triangle and all the movements were also represented in the form of triangular shape only. But someone proved them wrong a few years ago (can’t recall the exact year but remember reading it somewhere).  
  
 I haven’t watched the netflix series. People were saying it’s not that good as compared to the C Drama it is based on. Would you recommend it ?

It's a wonderful sci-fi tv show. Don't trust reviews. If you like sci-fi and space exploration you will love this. But if you want more drama then this is not the right fit.

As far as ET SciFi goes, this is the best TV you are going to get. The whole idea is so simple yet so unique that I am not sure why we haven't seen more movies like that.

It's an amazing series. I am watching it too and loving it till now.  
  
 What a concept! What a drama!

I started watching "the 3 body problem" on Netflix and the science behind a habitable planet trapped between 3 suns is fascinating and terrifying at the same time. 

Do we have any evidence or discovery of such planets in the universe?

Are there any actual planets with the 3 body problem?

Is it the angle or is it real?

You know how when you're young and you see those dramatic movie scenes where the lead role is having a drama argument with a loved one. You feel that the argument is so pointless and illogical and hence the scene isn't very realistic. I mean why would the protagonist argue about something which basically translates to "You can't help me with this! I have to do this on my own!".

But when you grow up a bit and you get your first gray hairs - you start to realise that such seemingly irrational arguments are a part and parcel of life and probably one of the few realistic details in movies.

Given that at times we're not even able to align our fellow loved ones on important things, I do not have a lot of hope for us to be able to align any superintelligent AI. People have grown up following very different paths and trajectories with very different experiences so it becomes difficult to attain alignment. I suspect that a superintelligent AI would be so far removed from humanity and human experiences that we'll barely be able to convince it of anything on any topic.

The superintelligent AI would already have thought about (computed?) anything and everything that humanity can think about collectively. I feel that it will be very hard to convince it to change its perspective on something that has been pre-computed. 

Super-alignment problem is going to be a great filter for human civilisation.

So I had an interesting epiphany recently. I have been pondering upon the possibility of UFOs and Aliens, and questions like Are we alone? One thought crossed my mind was what if Alien life is not in the same dimension as we live in? Like we observe the world in a 3d dimension of space and 1d dimension of time, but we have other creatures like Bacteria and viruses who see the world differently than we do. From there perspective the world is likely 2d space. I wondered if alien life exists in 4d or higher dimensions and they observe us as we observe bacteria. Now the possibility the the entire universe is a Simulation is not new for Science. Scientist estimate that there is 20 percent possibility that we live in a Simulation. 

Now I started wondering what would be the consequences of living in a world with higher dimensions let's say a 4d world. How would forces of nature and physics work there. Well I  did some research on the internet and found quite few shocking results. Like Gravity would be very Weak, magnesium will be noble gas, tying a knot would be impossible. A higher dimensional being could meddle with our organs like we can draw dots inside a circle without ever crossing circumference. A higher dimensional being could easily interfere with our world. He can see through our world, he can easily cover huge distance almost instantly. 

Now I thought sounds familiar 🤔. Our mythology is filled with such episodes. Devas can fly as if gravity doesn't impacts them, It was difficult for Yashoda to tie Krishna with a rope knot. Basically god's can appear instantly anywhere in the universe.  There's also a verse in Mahabharat where Shantanu asks Devdut how was his time in the Devlok, to which he replied that God's see the human world differently, and human would to them is like a game of Chausar. (Like a video game or simulation). Also, Hindu religion ofter describes Sansar as Maya or manifestation by God. Nothing is real. Ngl, Goosebumps

Are we living in a Simulation?

Best Netflix Show in 2024

If you want to watch some intellectually interesting film, do checkout The Man from Earth (2007). The whole film is just a bunch of friends sitting around and talking. That's it. But it isone of the greatest plot I've ever seen.

Pay attention to those dialogues.

Movie recommendation: The Man from Earth 👌

House of Dragons 

Looking forward for The Boys next season.

..unless either of the two mess up insanely bad

We'll probably get to the #3 spot if things go well. But it seems impossible that we'll ever go beyond that.

Internal reasons that are very hard to fix:-

(1) Our population TFR fell below standard replacement rate in 2023. This means we will not be able to follow the same economic growth trajectory required to reach developed status before population stagnation or declination. This is not a death knell but definitely very VERY bad news.

(2) Our blue-collar workforce skill levels are not only subpar but are slowly falling behind the world standards every year. Much of our youth aim to join government orgs like the Army or the Railways which train for the job later, not before. Despite a national shortage of skilled plumbers, electricians etc, our vocational training orgs have been unsuccessful in attracting people towards these careers as well as churning out skilled workers.

(3) Our bureaucratic environment is extremely slow with pathetic turnaround times on initiatives. This is not government specific and has always been the case so it seems like this will always be. This is not even a problem unique to India as many other countries have been facing this too but it is still a factor that negatively impacts our growth massively.

I wish it was just internal reasons but a large part of it also comes down to both China and US being aggressively great at ensuring their successes:-

(1) Chinese manufacturing seems nearly impossible to overcome - not just for India but also for the US. Yes, we might win over some industries and companies like the US, Vietnam, Thailand etc. have been doing but the amount of autocratic control in China allows them to crush competition easily. Case in point - the recent tussle between India and China on solar manufacturing which China won by autocratically lowering their prices.

(2) If de-dollarisation succeeds, it will benefit China the most because (contd. in comments)

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

To all the Entrepreneurial minds here. If given enough money and resources and time what problem will you solve? 

I’ll go first. If I had enough, I would solve air pollution. I think its a massive massive problem in urban India and will severely affect us in the long run 

What will you solve?

Are there any actual planets with the 3 body problem?
