Apparently gravity no longer exists.

What the hell is a N-body code?Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

You're ready for Skunk works

Probably a program to solve the N-body problem for gravity, silly.
Congrats on defeating gravity! Now you can do anything!

It's a computer program for simulating the behaviour of a large system of coupled particles.Originally posted by Last Conformist
What the hell is a N-body code?
In this case, it's to simulate the growth of large scale structure in the Universe, so the "particles" are galaxy clusters and the the coupling is gravity12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Unfortunately, my particles don't appear to be coupling. They're just sort of sitting there.
Maybe I should tweak the initial conditions to provide greater deviation from uniform distribution than currently.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Cool. I thought "N-body" was some sort of sucky brand name like N-gage.Originally posted by KrazyHorse

Luckily, I don't do computational physics, so I can't help you there.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

If you plan to go to graduate school and become a theorist then you will be doing computational physics.
Everybody except a small number of experimentalists does computational stuff (or has their graduate students do it for them)12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Bah. I wish more physics problems had exact solutions.
