Particles' positions and colors were calculated with a Lua script I put together. View with decorations enabled (preferably also with viewing mode 8) and unpause to watch the gravity diffuse the galaxy into a cloud of particles orbiting a central mass.

@diehard899 well assuming that this galaxy is milky-way sized, and our own sun's galactic year is 250 million years, then we can say that this simulation lasts less than 250 million years, because many stars in the area where our own sun should be can't make a full orbit around the center before degrading into the cloud of stars. So life should be alright, but the sky would look pretty ugly in an elliptical galaxy...

i wonder what the Lua script is :D

I wonder why some of the stars get flung OUT of the galaxy instead of getting sucked in. Well, angular momentum.

really cool simulation, but the galaxy looks more like a star than an actual galaxy since it gains a circual form over time

but in reality this whole process would take billoin and billoins of years so any living lifeforms in solar systems would be logicly dead

it should be called "galaxy goes boom"
