This is where Universe Sandbox succeeds brilliantly: players experience godly power to create or destroy, while almost unavoidably learning something about the physical properties of our universe.
Using the vast range of variables and tools at your disposal you can create some enormously convoluted displays of physics, bending cosmic laws to your will...
I’ve seen some pretty wonderful interactive programs that allow you and your family to explore the vast regions of the universe, but nothing nearly as enthralling as Universe Sandbox.
Bringing new meaning to the term god-game.
You’ve got to try this out.
The most amazing program I have ever had on my computer.
Epic.
Carl Sagan's favourite game.
Fun, meet physics.
It brings out the awed child in all of us.
I work in a planetarium in Dayton, Ohio... [Universe Sandbox] is a real hit... especially when we up the gravity and destroy the entire system.
As a teaching aid, we can't think of much better.
So that's what happens when education and fun marry.
Newton would have killed for this.
Overall impression is WOW.
A revolution in astronomical visualization.
This is better than the Discovery Channel.
This is an incredible program. I'm using it to teach my 7 year old sister about our galaxy.
I'm an astrophysics student, and it is just mind-blowing. Excellent work!
Beautiful.
I love this, I'm amazed at how well done this is.
There is just so much fun [stuff] to do, and [it's] all just really really awesome, which begs me to wonder why no one has made anything like this before.
What took billions of years to create, I've destroyed in 5 seconds.
You [have created] something really wonderful!
This program is super-cool and tons of fun to play with!
This thing rocks socks. :)
Physics has never been so much fun!
This is by far the most fantastic universe sim I have ever come across.
This is the most bad ass 3D simulator. Ever.
My new favourite toy!
This just may be the most addicting thing ever...
Love it, absolutely love it.
You've combined some really clever technology with a beautiful artistic sense - not a typical combination.
