Home Sheep Home

Shaun the Sheep stars in a cute physics game in which you guide the sheep home. You have obstacles to cross, and three sheep of different mass. While you figure out a strategy, enjoy the artwork and sound effects. Link -Via: Metafilter, Via: Neatorama

Amazing Physics Engine

This video demonstrates a physical motion simulation program developed by the start-up company Lagoa Technologies. It shows columns of dirt smashing into the ground and scattering, as well as other effects that could make future video games even more awesome.

Sculptures inspired by Quantum Physics

"Father" from the series "Spin Family (Bosons and Fermions)" 2009, steel and silk, 7" x 6" x 6".

We've posted previously about physicist, software designer, and artist Julian Voss-Andreae whose work lies at the intersection of science and sculpture. Last year, he created a massive metal protein sculpture linked to Leonardo's Vitruvian Man. Now, Julian has made 30 objects inspired by his former physics research area of quantum physics. The objects are currently on display at the American Center for Physics in College Park, Maryland. More images and background on the work after the jump. LINK: Boingboing

Strange World Delight: a Treatise on Parallel Universes

The idea of parallel universes has been one of the most celebrated stuffs of mythology, science fiction and fantasy for long eons of time. And it continues to fascinate both readers and writers across cultures and generations.

Overview Of The Universe

A time traveler in many novels is made to arrive at strange places – parallel universes. And more so often, a travel into the future or past entails the existence of extra dimensions apart from the three-dimensional space that we move through everyday. This other dimension that allows time travel is often equated by many writers as other universes existing independently with our own, albeit govern by different laws of physics. LINK

"Red remover" - another physics-based flash game

What's embedded above is just a screencap. The link to the game is HERE - and make sure you click on the words "play game," not on the picture above it, which takes you to an advertisement.

The game itself is simple - you click on the blue things in order to get the red things to fall off the screen. Accomplishing the goal in what they call "par" (x number of clicks) makes it a little harder. I didn't try the "bonus mode" which requires solving the puzzles through a small viewing window.

A physics puzzle game you ask? Why, yes! LINK

The Rubens’ Tube: Physics + Fire = Awesome!

Physics can be fun if you don’t have to take a test. The scientific principles behind the Rubens’ Tube (showing standing waves) involved in this demonstration are explained at Wikipedia, but are more dramatically illustrated in the video.

Poiser, a Fun Physics Stacking Game

Ryan from Smartkit told us about their new Flash game "Poiser," a hand-drawn physics puzzle game that looks simple … but it’s maddeningly hard (and a lot of fun!)

The concept is simple: stack the boxes until they reach the line … how high can you go?
