But be careful with concluding too much from it.  After some time the
system might differ quite a lot from the physically accurate one because
inaccuracies of the numerical simulation grow.  A standard way of testing
this (and also a method for correction) is to calculate the total energy
of each particle which has to stay constant (apart from collisions).
