Hey everyone, I had this interesting idea regarding time flow and just time in general in US. So currently the only way to pass time is to let it flow, correct? This can be done slowly for accurate results or very quickly with bodies flying out into oblivion. What if we had the ability to specify a specific time to jump to?
Basically my idea would be to make the current Day/year field editable, then be able to type in something like XX Days or XX years (replacing XX with any numer). Then hopefully, using the data from each body such as velocity and mass, etc, be able to calculate what our current simullation would look like at that time. Is this feasable or would it require too much processing power/time to make these calculations?
My goal with this idea is to be able to type in something like 10,000 years and have the simulator accuratly show me what everything would look like at that time (assuming every simulation starts at a time of 0). If this is feasable, I will add it to the community idea spreadsheet. If this is just completely not possible with current tech, then no worries. Thanks guys
