“…It is not obvious that this system cannot have a blow-up, that is a collapse of infinite mass in a finite region and/or an unbounded growth of the velocity. Actually for point particles the problem has been solved many years ago, when the problem of the dynamics of infinitely many particles has been faced (see [1,2,5,6,7,11,12,18,20,21,22,27,28,29,32,33,39,45,46,47] and for a short review [9]). The solution depends on the dimensions and the shape of the region in which the motion happens (the unbounded cylinder case is treated in [6]).…”
