By adding a system to assign birth years to stellar objects, it is possible to use a tidal locking model to determine the timescale that will tidal lock an object around its parent.
While it works well, the fact that the universe is not at 1:1 scale at the moment (see #93) makes satellites much closer to their parents than in reality.
As the model is very sensible to this data, it results in every celestial body being tidally locked in the current 1:6 scale simulation.
This will be merged in 2.0 when 1:1 scale becomes possible with WebGPU
