Happy to answer questions — and feedback on the physics or the explanations is very welcome. This project might be totally inaccurate in terms of real physics, this is how i do understand this on my own - i'm happy to confront this with reality

How are you handling relativistic effects in the N-body simulation?
I did laugh at how the Gravity built the Earth, with a tiny North America and all, and then as more mass was accumulated, North America got to get bigger and bigger and bigger!
In any case, nice visualization.
there is also likely a planet that passed through and yanked away a lot of debris, most of the simulations for tilt etc. don't work without the mystery missing planet
I could watch PBS Space Time all day for that kind of stuff, often do letting it play in the background on repeat, so much better than the news

Dr. Becky is also awesome
no computers, no calculators, barely working telescopes looking at the moons orbiting Jupiter
(don't be limited by episode title, lots of amazing astrophysics in there)

If the sim were instead centered on the free space (the top half of the screen) it’d be perfect.
