  • #three-body-problem
  • The three-body problem is a famous challenge in classical physics, lacking a general closed-form solution.
  • The simulator uses Newton's law of universal gravitation with a softening parameter to prevent numerical singularities.
  • Supports multiple integration methods: Velocity Verlet (energy-conserving) and RK4 (higher accuracy but not symplectic).
  • Includes preset configurations like the Figure-8 choreography and Lagrange triangular configuration.
  • Features real-time physics, interactive controls, and timeline playback for orbital analysis.
  • Energy metrics include total energy and energy drift, with indicators for simulation quality.
  • Negative total energy indicates a gravitationally bound system, which is normal for stable orbits.
  • Users can adjust parameters, share configurations, and provide feedback for improvements.
