(Astronomers refer to this model as "secular perturbation theory").
But if the number is close to or bigger than one, perturbation theory doesn't work.
When this number is much smaller than one, we can use a technique called perturbation theory to get our results.
Because perturbation theory doesn't work, it is very hard to predict the consequences of the strong force.
These oscillations correspond to particles in perturbation theory, rippling along through space-time in their merry quantum way.
Calculations on supercomputers (such as the DiRAC facility in the UK) use "lattice" methods to make calculations when perturbation theory doesn't work.
And they seem to have played a crucial role, as follows: There are various things which don't change in perturbation theory, things that are conserved.
Geometric singular perturbation theory.
Møller-Plesset Perturbation Theory.
This is done by applying perturbation theory.
An overview about perturbation theory is given in section 4.1 ("Perturbation Theory Philosophy and Examples") of Peskin & Schroeder (1995).
