What is the Gravitational Lensing multi-solver?

Gravitational Lensing is a guided workflow that chains 1 individual PolySim solvers into one end-to-end analysis, piping each result into the next step.

Yes. Every step runs entirely in your browser using real numerics — no install, no account, no cloud cost. Custom or private solver packs are available as a paid service.

Controls

The classic rubber-sheet picture of gravity: mass warps the grid, and a body orbits in the curved surface. Drag the star to move the mass and reshape the well; drag empty space to orbit the view.

Governing equation

Φ = - \frac{GM}{r} = - \frac{60 G}{r}, F = \frac{GM m}{r ^{2}}

Reading this result: At mass 60 the well is moderately curved; the body traces a near-stable ellipse because its sideways motion balances the inward pull (∝ M/r²).
