Which phenomenon limits the accuracy of molecular dynamics simulations when modeling long timescales?

💡 Explanation

When simulating long timescales, small numerical errors in the integration accumulate because molecular dynamics relies on discrete time steps and approximations, ultimately deviating from the true trajectory. Therefore, cumulative errors limit accuracy, rather than tunneling, uncertainty, or relativistic effects, which require different physical scales or conditions.
