Billions of years?

The post was to Freeper Poincare.

The French physicist/mathematician Poincare proved in the late nineteenth century that under Newtonian mechanics no three or more body dynamical system was stable, there was always the possibility of the “butterfly effect”. A butterfly flapping its wings will perturb the earth's orbit in ways that will be magified trillions and trillions of times in 100 million years. The tiniest uncertainty in the current state of the bodies in the solar system means that predictions more than a few million years into future are fraught with uncertainty.
