I have heard that, according to chaos theory, we cannot rule out the possibility that planets could be ejected from the solar system.
Even without chaos theory, the math required to predict a system this complex, for any significant length of time, is quite complex.
Within two standard deviations of a planet's projected position, how far in the future can we predict it's future position? Is there any way to measure the prediction's degree of certainty?
