Seasons and Ecliptic Simulator - Basic Coordinates and Seasons. Space Time Quest. (A Processing game) Daniel Brown Paul Fulda Ludovico Carbone 2010 Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be in charge of a budget of £100 Million!? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be the principal investigator on a continent spanning science project, with the aim of making one of the most important discoveries of the last 50 years!?
Well here is your chance to use your scientific skills to build the most sensitive gravitational wave detector ever, and use it to listen to the symphony of the universe as never before! You can watch the game in action on youtube, have a look at a short trailer of the game or learn how to play watching the tutorial below: Background information about graviational wave detectors and the technology behind them can be found in our gravitational waves E-book.

Space Time Quest. Interactive Lab. The Universe of Aristotle and Ptolemy.
The Universe of Aristotle and Ptolemy (The diagram is not to scale, and the planets are aligned for convenience in illustration; generally they were distributed around the spheres.) There were additional "buffering" spheres that lay between the spheres illustrated. The sphere of the stars lay beyond the ones shown here for the planets; finally, in the Aristotelian conception there was an outermost sphere that was the domain of the "Prime Mover". The Prime Mover caused the outermost sphere to rotate at constant angular velocity, and this motion was imparted from sphere to sphere, thus causing the whole thing to rotate. By adjusting the velocities of these concentric spheres, many features of planetary motion could be explained. Epicycles and Planetary Motion The net effect was as illustrated in the following animation. More Sophisticated Epicycles: The Ptolemaic Universe Medieval Aristotelian Astronomy.

David Lecossu Normandy born and bred, I was born in Caen in the Calvados, and for as long as I can remember, I’ve always drawn! After many scholastic adventures, I found enlightenment at Art School.My diploma in my pocket, I left to live in the capital and I first started as a computer assisted artist in the luxury domain. Far from my world of predilection, one day I decided to leave it all behind and attempt the edventure and commit myself, body and soul, to my neverending passion: drawing!
I had the chance to work as a Concept Artist at Gameloft and even Lightbulb Crew, and I now work as a freelance artist. So it’s with pleasure that I replaced Benjamin in this story. The difficulty with the project was then to keep the same style as the one he started with, I hope you’ll enjoy it… Frontier of Physics: Interactive Map. “Ever since the dawn of civilization,” Stephen Hawking wrote in his international bestseller A Brief History of Time, “people have not been content to see events as unconnected and inexplicable.
They have craved an understanding of the underlying order in the world.” In the quest for a unified, coherent description of all of nature — a “theory of everything” — physicists have unearthed the taproots linking ever more disparate phenomena. With the law of universal gravitation, Isaac Newton wedded the fall of an apple to the orbits of the planets. Albert Einstein, in his theory of relativity, wove space and time into a single fabric, and showed how apples and planets fall along the fabric’s curves.
And today, all known elementary particles plug neatly into a mathematical structure called the Standard Model. Our map of the frontier of fundamental physics, built by the interactive developer Emily Fuhrman, weights questions roughly according to their importance in advancing the field. Einstein Gravity Wall – INVIVIA. Albert Einstein forever changed the ways physicists think about the world. The exhibition "Gravity" at Museum of Natural History presented the life and times of Einstein and immerses visitors in his theories on light, time, energy, and gravity.
The goal of the exhibition was to remind the public of Einstein's revolutionary ideas. INVIVIA conceptualized and designed a full-body interactive exhibit "Gravity Wall" to help audiences experience the space time model. As visitors move relative to the wall the wall responds to their motion by opening up /closing down. Vistors can 'feel' their gravity as an emerging mass warping time-space as opposed to the idea of gravity as a force.
Understanding this principle is an important step toward understanding more complex theories of the universe.

You Be the Astrophysicist. Many times, the best way to learn about something is to do it. We think the best way to learn about what an astrophysicist does would be to spend a day (or two or three) in the shoes of one. But since we don't have room for everyone who visits our web site to visit our lab, we've tried to do the next best thing. In these web pages, you will be given a real problem in astronomy which you solve by traveling through web pages, exploring different options and learning many different things along the way. Science is a process of inquiry. As you travel through the pages in the site to answer the question you are given, you will have the chance to read about relevant concepts in astronomy and test your skills with interactive quizzes.
Important: When you encounter a quiz to test what you have learned, always press the "check me" button to check your answer and proceed (rather than pressing the return button). As always, we appreciate your comments about these projects. Reach for the Stars: Touch, Look, Listen, Learn | Accessible Science. Online. Voyages dans le temps et espace-temps à 4 dimensions.
Une physique pour les gouverner tous (Voici la physique, 1e partie) One Physics To Rule Them All --- FQXi Video Contest 2014 Top Prize Winner (This Is Physics, part 1) Flatland 2: Sphereland | John Guy Collick. Flatland 2: Sphereland is the sequel to the movie Flatland which I mentioned in a blog post last year.
It’s a charming 36 minute animated short based on the original novel by Edwin Abbott, and one of the book’s own sequels Sphereland: A Fantasy About Curved Spaces and an Expanding Universe, written in 1965 by the Dutch mathematician Dionys Burger. The story takes place twenty years after the original, in which the Flatlander Arthur Square (Martin Sheen) and his daughter Hex (Kristen Bell) discovered the third dimension with the help of Spherius, a denizen of that realm voiced by Michael York.
Her grandfather is now dead and Hex is ridiculed by the inhabitants of Flatland who still refuse to believe in the existence of dimensions beyond their own. Outcast from society, she waits for the return of the portal that will lead to the higher realms, and Spherius who has disappeared. The Flatlander’s rocket ship However one of the navigators, Puncto, has found an anomaly. Dig It Games : Mayan Mysteries.
