Midnight here at that time. :/

Will it be possible to see later, or only livestreamed?

hehe it'd be nice if it was recorded, so that people who can't be on at that hour can watch. Sounds interesting.

Might be a little late to ask now, but will it have captions?

That was fun. Thanks for listening everyone.

I think there's going to be a full recording of the marathon posted after it's over (in a few days).

yess. me too. Melting would be awesome, but that might be hard to implement. Explosions into something thats not a sphere would be very cool.

Despite the fact that I used the transcribe audio featire, which both sucks and is funny, I did get a few bits. There was something about atmospheres, improved collisions, and I think he also said that the collisions will treat the object or objects as being exploded or something. Basically more realistic colissions.

Yes I watched those. I'm hard of hearing so I decided to try and use the CC feature on there. About 80-90% (maybe closer to 70%) got lost in translation through that audio transcribing though :P Not your fault Youtube's audio transcribe feature doesn't work very well.

2 features that would make UB even more realistic:


1. Einstein Relativity (showing of the 3 dimensional fabric and how the mass bends it would be spectacular)
Some examples: The curvature of Space-Time
                         ScienceCasts: Space-Time Vortex
                         How gravity really works
2. Antimatter

Yes, pretty please  :)
