Before going any further, we need to understand a tiny slice of
celestial mechanics. A pair of bodies, such as the Sun-Earth system, or the Earth-Moon system, have five special points in space around them.
Milutin Milankovitch, a Serbian mechanical engineer with no background in
celestial mechanics, spent 20 years calculating, with pencil and slide rule, shifts in the earth's orbit that likely explain ice ages.
The many-body problem is a famous model of
Celestial Mechanics proposed first by Newton, many papers were devoted to its investigation and many important results were obtained (see, for example, [17,23]).
However, a different approach [2] called quantum
celestial mechanics (QCM) offers the potential ability to predict the existence of additional angular momentum in the planetary system, which could indicate additional planets to be detected or additional mass in the form of rings or spherical shells of mass chunks orbiting the star, such as the Kuiper belt or the Oort Cloud in our Solar System.
They envision the material covering three courses--at the junior or senior undergraduate level, first-year graduate level, and a first graduate course in
celestial mechanics. ([umlaut] Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR)
But any inconsistencies weren't due to his myth-as-fact interpretations; instead, he pointed to the "need for a new approach to
celestial mechanics" in which electrical forces and magnetism trumped the power of gravity.
Talking about astronomy and
celestial mechanics, Mr Alvi said this helped understand the position on celestial bodies not what those bodies are made of or why they behave in a particular way.
We apply a generalization of the remarkable technique of Siegel invented by him for solving the three-body problem of the
celestial mechanics [6, 7].

"
Celestial Mechanics: A Tale For A Mid-Winter Night" by William least Heat-Moon is an emotional tale of haunted love in which Silas finds himself locked in a marriage descending toward darkness until the arrival of his sister-in-law and soon thereafter the appearance of a witching neighbor who may or may not be alive.
It's
celestial mechanics, and we have no control over that.
