"""
In physics and astronomy, a gravitational N-body simulation is a simulation of a
dynamical system of particles under the influence of gravity. The system
consists of a number of bodies, each of which exerts a gravitational force on all
other bodies. These forces are calculated using Newton's law of universal
gravitation. The Euler method is used at each time-step to calculate the change in
velocity and position brought about by these forces. Softening is used to prevent
numerical divergences when a particle comes too close to another (and the force
goes to infinity).
