At this point they seem satisfied with probability rather than certainty. Seems inadequate, still.
Calculus is the mathematics of approximations. At some point the approximations are ‘close enough’.................
They also do it step by step. The true solution to the three body problem would be nine closed form equations that would specify every future x, y and z coordinate for all three bodies for all future values of time.

But think about it. All it took was two pink elephants and some barf in the back of the taxi cab.

We live our life based on probabilities.
