Lecture 19: Intro to Physical Simulation (71)

With the Euler's Method numerical integration method we are using, we will over-estimate the acceleration a little bit for every timestep and also underestimate the deceleration. As a result, the speed of the particle will continue to be greatly over estimated. I believe this is what the professor means when he says the system will blow up.
