  We prove that torsion-free G_2 structures are (weakly) dynamically stable
along the Laplacian flow for closed G_2 structures. More precisely, given a
torsion-free G_2 structure $\varphi$ on a compact 7-manifold, the Laplacian
flow with initial value cohomologous and sufficiently close to $\varphi$ will
converge to a torsion-free G_2 structure which is in the orbit of $\varphi$
under diffeomorphisms isotopic to the identity.
