I would guess that lots of software does, especially since that's what
most operating systems give you (e.g. time_t).

Why?
Also, ODE doesn't u

I mean I was going to say "of course."
I'm tired.

Thought problem 2: physics 2
Suppose I am going to do a rigid body simulation. I put one box (box1)
on a plane, at the origin and hold another box (box2) suspended a
meter above the plane nearby. I release box2 at time t=20 and it
bounces, perhaps collides with box1 then eventually comes to rest.
