      We discuss a new interior point algorithm for solving linear programs. Geometrically, the method tracks the locus of the center of a drop in the interior of the set of feasible solutions, as it falls under the influence of a powerful gravitational force pulling everything down in the direction of the negative gradient of the objective function.
