作者君在作品相關中其實已經解釋過這個問題。
不過仍然有人質疑——“你說得太含糊了”,“火星軌道的變化比你想象要大得多!”
那好吧,既然作者君的簡單解釋不夠有力,那咱們就看看嚴肅的東西,反正這本書寫到現在,嚷嚷著本書BUG一大堆,用初高中物理在書中挑刺的人也不少。
以下是文章內容:

A closer look at towestfrequency oscillations using a lowpass filter sly diffusive c¬ion, especially that of Mercury. The behaviour of the eccentricity of Mercury in our integrations is qualitatively&nilar to&n Jacques Laskar's secular perturbation theory&nax∼ 0.35 ∼± 4 Gyr. However, tar increases of eccentricity or inclination in any&nents of tanets, wed by still&n&nerical integrations. We&ned a couple of trial integrations¬ions of tanets the duration of ± 5 × 1010 yr. Tt indicates that the&najor resonances in&n have&naintained the&nespan.
1 Introduction
1.1Definition&n
Tity of our&n hundred years,&n has&nany&nous&nathematicians tayed a central role&nent of nonlinear&nics and chaos theory. However, we do not yet have a definite answer to the question of&n is stable or not. Ty a result of the fact that the definition of tity’ is vague wation&n of¬ion in&n. Actually it is not easy to give a clear, rirous and&neaningful definition of tity of our&n.
&nong&nany definitions of stability, l definition&nan 1993: actually this is not a definition of stability, but of instability. We define&n&ning unstable wose encounter&newhere in&n,&n a certain initial configuration&np;amp; Boss 1996;&np;amp; Tanikawa 1999.&n is defined as experiencing a close encounter when two bodies approach one another witarger Hill radius. Otherwise&n is defined as being stable. Henceforward we state tanetary&n&nically stable if no close encounter happens during&n, about ±5 Gyr. Incidentally, taced by one in which an occurrence of any orbital crossing between eitanets takes place. This is because we&n experience t crossing is very likely to lead to a close encounter in planetary and protoplanetary&ns Yoshinaga,&np;amp; Makino 1999. Of course ty applied&ns wite orbital resonances&n.
1.2Previous studies&ns of this research
In addition to the vagueness of tity, tanets in our&n s&nical&nan&np;amp;&n 1988, 1992. The cause of this cy understood as being a result of resonance lapping&np;amp;&nan 1999; Lecar,&np;amp;&nan 2001. However, it rating &nble of planetary&ns including all nine planets for a period cing several 10 Gyr to ty understand&n evolution of planetary orbits, since&ns are characterized by their strong dependence on initial conditions.
&n that point of&nany&n&nerical integrations included only&nan&np;amp;&n 1988;&np;amp; Nakai 1996. T periods of tanets&nuconger than tanets that&nuclow&n for a given integration period. At present,&nerical integrations publiss are those of&np;amp; Lissauer 1998. Although&nain target was the effect&nainsequence&nass loss on tity of planetary orbits,&ned&nany integrations cing up to ∼1011 yr¬ions of tanets. T&nents&nasses of planets are&ne as&n in&np;amp; Lissauer's paper, but they decrease tly in&nents. This is because they consider the effect&nainsequence&nass loss in ty, they found te of planetary orbits, w indicator of&nescale, is quite sensitive to the rate&nass decrease of the Sun. When&nass of tose to its present value,&nain stable 1010 yr, or peronger.&np;amp; Lissauer&ned&nilar&nents¬ion of seven planets Venus to Neptune, which c a span of ∼109 yr.&nents on tanets are not&nprehensive, s t planets&nain stable during the integration&naintaining&nost regular oscillations.
On the other ytical secular perturbation theory Laskar 1988, Laskar finds targe and irregular variations can appear in tinations of t planets, especially of Mercury and Mars&nescale of several 109 yr Laskar 1996. Tts of Laskar's secular perturbation td&ned and investigated erical integrations.
&ninary results of&n&nerical integrations on all nine planetary orbits, cing a span of several 109 yr, and of trations cing a span of ± 5 × 1010 yr. T&ne for all integrations&nore t dedicated PCs and workstations. One of t conclusions of&n integrations is&n¬ion&ns to be stas of tl&nentioned above, at least&nespan of ± 4 Gyr. Actually, in&nerical integrations&n was&nore stable than wl stability criterion: not only did no close encounter happen during tso all tanetary&nents have been confined in a narroion e and&nain,¬ions are stochastic. Since the purpose of this paper is to exts of&n&nerical integrations, we&nple figures as evidence&n stability of&n¬ion. For readers who&nore specific and deeper interests in&nerical results, we have prepared a e access&nents, towpass filtered results, variation of&nents and&nomentum deficit, and results of&nple&ne–frequency analysis on all of our integrations.
In Section 2 we briefly explain&nical&nodel,&nerical&net conditions used in our integrations. Section 3 is devoted to a description of tts of t integrations.&n stability of&n¬ion is apparent botanetary positions and&nents. A roug errors is also given. Section 4 es on to a discussion of&n variation of planetary orbits using a lowpass filter and includes a discussion of&nomentum deficit. In Section 5, we present a set&nerical integrations for tanets that spans ± 5 × 1010 yr. In Section 6 we also discuss&n stability of¬ion and its possible cause.

As for&nination of stepsize, we partly follow t integration of all nine planets&nan&np;amp;&n 1988, 7.2 d and&np;amp;&naine 1994, 225/32 d. We rounded t part of the their stepsizes to&nake ttiple of 2 in order to reduce tation of roundoff error in tation&nan&ned&nerical integrations of tanetary orbits using&nap with a stepsize of 400 d, 1/10.83 of t period of Jupiter.&ns to be accurate enougy justifies&nethod&nining the stepsize. However, since the eccentricity of Jupiter ∼0.05&nucler than that of Mercury ∼0.2, we&ne care when&npare ty&ns of stepsizes.
In the integration of tanets F±, we fixed the stepsize at 400 d.
We adopt Gauss' f and g functions in&nap&netver for Kepler equations.&naximum iterations we set in&nethod is 15, but they never reached&naximum in any of our integrations.
T of the data output is 200 000 d ∼547 yr for tculations of all nine planets N±1,2,3, and about 8000 000 d ∼21 903 yr for the integration of tanets F±.
Alttering was done w integrations were in process, we applied a lowpass filter to t data after we eted all tculations. See Section 4.1&nore detail.
