N-BODY SIMULATIONS: ADVANTAGES AND PROBLEMS

Parnovsky S. L. (2022). N-BODY SIMULATIONS: ADVANTAGES AND PROBLEMS. , 20–21.

The N-body simulations method is widely used in astrophysics and cosmology. The article briefly lists its advantages, disadvantages and possible errors. It is concluded that the results of computer simulation not only cannot replace the data of astronomical observations, but also are not a sufficient reason to reject new hypotheses that do not have other drawbacks, other than the discrepancy between their conclusions and the results of N-body simulations.
