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 ...
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.
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.
Full Tilt! Pinball, known as Pinball 95 in Europe, is a 1995 pinball video game developed by Cinematronics [3] and published by Maxis. [4] [5] It features pre-rendered 3D graphics and three tables: Space Cadet, Skulduggery, and Dragon's Keep.
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]
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a large-scale physics experiment and observatory designed to detect cosmic gravitational waves and to develop gravitational-wave observations as an astronomical tool. [1]
Richard Allen Garriott de Cayeux (né Garriott; born 4 July 1961) is a British-born American video game developer, entrepreneur and private astronaut.. Garriott, who is the son of NASA astronaut Owen Garriott, was originally a game designer and programmer, and is now involved in a number of aspects of computer-game development.
For two pairwise interacting point particles, the gravitational potential energy is the work that an outside agent must do in order to quasi-statically bring the masses together (which is therefore, exactly opposite the work done by the gravitational field on the masses): = = where is the displacement vector of the mass, is gravitational force acting on it and denotes scalar product.
