The evolution of the entire planetary system has been numerically integrated for a time span of nearly 100 million years. This calculation confirms that the evolution of the solar system as a whole is chaotic, with a time scale of exponential divergence of about 4 million years. Additional numerical experiments indicate that the Jovian planet subsystem is chaotic, although some small variations in the model can yield quasiperiodic motion. The motion of Pluto is independently and robustly chaotic.
整个行星系统的演化已经被数值积分了近 1 亿年的时间跨度。这一计算证实了整个太阳系的演化是混沌的，其发散时间尺度约为 400 万年。额外的数值实验表明，木星行星子系统是混沌的，尽管模型中的一些小变化可以产生准周期运动。冥王星的运动是独立的且具有鲁棒性的混沌。
