Universe Sandbox is a series of interactive space sandbox gravity simulator educational software video games.Using Universe Sandbox, users can see the effects of gravity on objects in the universe and run scale simulations of the Solar System, various galaxies or other simulations, while at the same time interacting and maintaining control over gravity, time, and other objects in the universe ...
Prof. David Baker, a protein research scientist at the University of Washington, founded the Foldit project.Seth Cooper was the lead game designer. Before starting the project, Baker and his laboratory coworkers relied on another research project named Rosetta [5] to predict the native structures of various proteins using special computer protein structure prediction algorithms.
Launchball is a physics-based online game produced by the Science Museum in London, to coincide with the reopening in 2007 of their hands-on gallery 'Launchpad'. The aim of the game is to get a ball from a starting position to a 'goal' by placing additional blocks onto the grid-based screen.
Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity is a puzzle video game released on Wii, DS, Windows, iOS, and Android formats (the latter two mobile versions as Isaac Newton's Gravity). It is published by Deep Silver and developed by Extra Mile Studios. The game is named after Heinz Wolff, while the iOS and Android versions are named after Isaac Newton.
In mid-September 2015, "the world's largest gravitational-wave facility" completed a five-year US$200-million overhaul, bringing the total cost to $620 million. [ 9 ] [ 43 ] On 18 September 2015, Advanced LIGO began its first formal science observations at about four times the sensitivity of the initial LIGO interferometers. [ 44 ]
Antigraviator is an anti-gravity racing game in the vein of Wipeout and F-Zero, to which the game has been compared. [7] [8] [9] The game has a single-player mode and a multiplayer mode that supports up to eight players. [10] [11] The game features no speed limit, as a result the game says to be the fastest game ever made. [12] [13]
Small missions of the Explorer program offer much flexibility and launch opportunities, and the lessons learned can be applied to the same missions goals, but on a different mission (compare, for instance, Vanguard 1 to Explorer 1). Several years later two new X-ray polarimetry missions won a NASA award to develop X-ray polarimetry missions. [3]
For a space gun with a gun barrel of length (), and the needed velocity (), the acceleration is provided by the following formula: [citation needed] = For instance, with a space gun with a vertical "gun barrel" through both the Earth's crust and the troposphere, totalling ~60 km (37 miles) of length (), and a velocity enough to escape the Earth's gravity (escape velocity, which is 11.2 km/s or ...
