Can a Massive Force Carrier Turn a Two-Body System into a Three-Body Problem?

[Rothiemurchus]

A force carrier emitted over a very short distance between two particles would have a very large mass.Could it have a mass large enough to turn
the two body particle system into a three body system?

I think not, the net-effect is that there are three objects that "always" remain : the constituents of the three body-problem. The carriers "come and go". If a carrier were to have much mass then that is only to "explain" a short-distanced-interaction between two matter-particles. The mass is used in the interactions of which the three-body-structure is the result.

Look for example at three quarks in a baryon, positioned at the edges of a triangle...

The 3 body problem and bosons are two separate concepts in physics that are not directly related to each other. The 3 body problem refers to the mathematical challenge of predicting the motions of three interacting bodies in space, while bosons are a type of elementary particle that can carry forces between other particles.

In regards to the question of whether a force carrier with a large mass could turn a two body particle system into a three body system, it is important to understand that the mass of a force carrier is not the only determining factor in the behavior of particles. The interactions between particles are also influenced by other fundamental forces, such as electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces.

Therefore, it is unlikely that increasing the mass of a force carrier would automatically result in a three body system. Additionally, the concept of a force carrier having a large mass is not consistent with our current understanding of particle physics. Force carriers are typically massless or have very small masses, and their role is to mediate interactions between particles rather than directly affecting their masses.

In conclusion, the 3 body problem and bosons are both fascinating topics in physics, but they should not be conflated. While a force carrier with a large mass could potentially have an impact on the behavior of particles, it is not a direct determinant of whether a two body system becomes a three body system.
