THREE-BODY

A three-body problem chaos simulator. Velocity Verlet integration computes gravitational interactions of three bodies in real time. Explore 6 presets including Figure-8, Lagrange triangle, and butterfly orbits. Use butterfly effect comparison mode to observe orbit divergence from a 0.1% perturbation.
