Let me think... Heinz Beans are roughly half beans and half tomato sauce. You only need to thicken the tomato sauce, so you'll need half the amount of gelatin that you would need to stabilize water or juice. They come in leaves here, six to stabilize 500ml liquid. A tin of beans is 415g, so it is about 210ml sauce, thus it would require 2-3 leaves of gelatin, or 7-10g of gelatin powder. I'd go to 3 leaves or 10g, just to get a nice stable product, as one has also consider to counteract the (hidden) acidity of the sauce, too.
I consider the "Three Body Problem" as unrealistic. Such a system would be far too unstable for any kind of life to develop. Most likely, a planet in such a system ends up inside one of the suns, or thrown to outer space. And even if this system has a core of two suns orbiting each other, and the planet orbiting far outside in a halfway stable orbit, it would probably suffer from a kind of tidal effect by the suns, making it geologically ... interesting.
More suns (or other large gravity wells close and big enough to make a difference) will make the planets' orbit rather unstable, probably moving it in and out of the Goldilocks zone on a regular base. Chances are that it ends up either inside one of the suns or in outer space before something serious can develop on it.
Having a bunch of moons, well it depends on the mass and orbits. if they are similar in mass, they will eventually synchronise their orbits, creating six tides a day. Or they don't synchronise and collide, which would be rather inconvenient.
All in all, not a good idea to live on such a planet. We are seriously lucky to have only one sun, one (amazingly large) moon, and that Jupiter is that far away.
There is software with which you can simulate such constellations. Give it a try.
It's a theory claiming to validate some known values, so there will be no need for new colliders to test it. All it takes is a bunch of enslaved postgrads to go through it with a fine-toothed comb to check all the formulas.
My excuse is that the weather was predicted as "cloudy" when we left in the morning. When we were on the trip, though, the sun was burning down to extinct humanity instead.
Having a number of phone numbers in my private PBX available, I set one as an "audio note" system. I can call that number, there is no prompt but the beep, I can leave a message, and get it in my mail as an mp3.
FTFY: the biggest
usable(mentally) unstable state.
