On the inherent self-excited macroscopic randomness of chaotic   three-body system
  What is the origin of macroscopic randomness (uncertainty)? This is one of the most fundamental open questions for human being. In this paper, 10000 samples of reliable (convergent), multiple-scale (from 1.0E-60 to 100) numerical simulations of a chaotic three-body system indicate that, without any external disturbance, the microscopic inherent uncertainty (in the level of 1.0E-60) due to physical fluctuation of initial positions of the three-body system enlarges exponentially into macroscopic randomness (at the level O(1)) until t=T*, the so-called physical limit time of prediction, but propagates algebraically thereafter when accurate prediction of orbit is impossible. Note that these 10000 samples use micro-level, inherent physical fluctuations of initial position, which have nothing to do with human being. Especially, the differences of these 10000 fluctuations are mathematically so small (in the level of 1.0E-60) that they are physically the SAME since a distance shorter than a Planck length does not make physical senses according to the spring theory. It indicates that the macroscopic randomness of the chaotic three-body system is self-excited, say, without any external force or disturbances, from the inherent micro-level uncertainty. This provides us the new concept "self-excited macroscopic randomness (uncertainty)". In addition, it is found that, without any external disturbance, the chaotic three-body system might randomly disrupt with the symmetry-breaking at t=1000 in about 25% probability, which provides us the new concepts "self-excited random disruption", "self-excited random escape" and "self-excited symmetry breaking" of the chaotic three-body system. It suggests that a chaotic three-body system might randomly evolve by itself, without any external forces or disturbance.
