If you’ve scrolled through Netflix recently or walked past a bookstore in the last decade, you’ve seen the symbol: three body, three suns. You might have heard the hype about Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss teaming up with Alexander Woo to adapt the "unadaptable." 3 Body Problem

The goal of the game? Figure out the physics of the three-body problem—predicting the motion of three gravitational bodies. It is a math problem that has stumped humanity for centuries (literally, Newton couldn’t solve it). Weiss teaming up with Alexander Woo to adapt
This story asks: What if the aliens are so far away that communication takes four years? What if they can manipulate our reality at a quantum level before they even arrive?
