These pictures show results for a fairly typical sequence of initial
conditions where all three bodies interact. (The two bodies at the
bottom are initially at rest; the body at the top is given
progressively larger rightward velocities.) What generically happens
is that one of the bodies escapes from the other two (like t or
sometimes t^(2/3)). Often this happens quickly, but sometimes all
three bodies show complex and apparently random behavior for quite a
while. (The delay before escaping is reminiscent of resonant
scattering.)
