THE COLD COLLAPSE

300 masses at rest, nothing but 1/r²

THE RULE

300 equal masses start almost at rest. Each pulls on every other by softened Newtonian gravity, integrated with leapfrog steps.

Tap to blast the bodies near your finger outward. The same ?seed= always gives the same run.

WHAT IS CLAIMED

LITCold collapse in N-body gravity (Lynden-Bell). Total momentum must stay at 0, or the page throws; the status line shows energy drift.

AMBERThe softening and units are made up.
