Future Projects in Celestial Mechanics

The most famous unsolved problem in the history of mathematics is the Three Body Problem of Celestial Mechanics - i.e. three massive bodies orbiting each other. This paper first offers a tentative solution to the Ten Body Problem - the sun + nine planets. The solution is predominantly graphical, but with a mathematical proof as well. This analytical solution generates the imaginary number "j" as the solution, which in complex numbers implies rotation. The math is all done in the first few paragraphs of the paper, leaving the rest to explore the practical applications, which form the proof of the theorem. There are astronomical and cosmological implications that give new insight into the nature of our solar system. Other applications are in solid state physics, delving into the workings of the transistor diode. This paper summarizes the earlier papers, then extrapolates the conclusions and suggests a series of tests of the theory itself. Ultimately, the development leads to the conceptual design of an advanced spacecraft capable of deep space travel: the power source, propulsion, navigation, and communications systems. All derived from the fundamental concepts of the Three Body Problem of Celestial Mechanics.
