egg changed the topic of #principia to: Logs: https://esper.irclog.whitequark.org/principia | <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly…

<queqiao--> <p​au​lo​> so, uhmn, i figured the orbit never actually decays
<queqiao--> <p​au​lo​> it is disturbed, yes, but it gets disturbed back and forth and never actually reaches that low
<queqiao--> <p​au​lo​> that tolerance parameter is what caused it to predict such a wrong value

<queqiao--> <e​gg​> The characteristic thing about the inclination of Молния orbits is that it gets rid of apsidal precession. There is still nodal precession. And as @Al₂Me₆ says, check the analysis of the recurrence in the analyser.
