TL;DR Summary

Astrophysicists at Sorbonne Université have developed a new theory to explain the stability of the solar system. They suggest that hidden structures within the motion of the planets help to stabilize them, slowing planets down and preventing them from straying in any given direction. They further suggest that a sort of fast-chaos manifests itself on the orbit of a given planet, which in turn holds destabilization in check, preventing the planets from wandering.
