There’s a really glaring mathematical error: the Three-body game claims the Trisolaran fleet can reach one tenth of the speed of light, and they are going to the star 4 light years away. Then roughly speaking (depending on how fast they can accelerate to one tenth of the speed of light and decelerate at the end) it should take a bit over 40 years. But in the book it’s 450 years as if their speed is one hundredth!
