Imagine the following scene:
A sun and some planets flying around the scene. Every object is attracted by 
every other object.
Then you can't calculate exact formulas for the planet movements but you have 
to calculate in small discrete time ticks. Calculate the forces, the 
accelerations, the resulting velocity and position changes.

Well, you could say this is a job for a simulation package but it would be 
nice to be able to model such a scene with the animation scripts.
