  2. Universe Sandbox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe_Sandbox

    Universe Sandbox is a series of simulation video games.In 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, such as moons, planets, asteroids, comets, and black holes.

    The mod won ModDB 2010 Mod of the Year awards for Best Original Art, [8] Best Singleplayer Mod [9] and Player's Choice Mod of the Year [10] categories, eventually winning 2nd place at the latter. Operation Black Mesa - An upcoming remake of the Half-Life expansion Opposing Force developed by Tripmine Studio.

  4. Artificial gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_gravity

    Some of the reasons that artificial gravity remains unused today in spaceflight trace back to the problems inherent in implementation. One of the realistic methods of creating artificial gravity is the centrifugal effect caused by the centripetal force of the floor of a rotating structure pushing up on the person. In that model, however, issues ...

  5. Principle of locality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_locality

    It is inconceivable that inanimate Matter should, without the Mediation of something else, which is not material, operate upon, and affect other matter without mutual Contact…That Gravity should be innate, inherent and essential to Matter, so that one body may act upon another at a distance thro' a Vacuum, without the Mediation of any thing ...

    GRAVITY, an instrument at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer API gravity , a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water Specific gravity or relative density, the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference material

  7. Alfvén wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfvén_wave

    Schematic illustration of the excitation of large-scale thermospheric gravity waves by Alfvén waves carried by a high-speed solar wind stream emanating from a coronal hole. [ 1 ] In plasma physics , an Alfvén wave , named after Hannes Alfvén , is a type of plasma wave in which ions oscillate in response to a restoring force provided by an ...

  8. Gravity train - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_train

    Ceres gravity train concept. Mining the asteroid belt could use gravity trains to haul raw material to a central refining point and launch point / space elevator. A gravity train is a theoretical means of transportation for purposes of commuting between two points on the surface of a sphere, by following a straight tunnel connecting the two points through the interior of the sphere.

  9. Swell (ocean) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swell_(ocean)

    Breaking swell waves at Hermosa Beach, California. A swell, also sometimes referred to as ground swell, in the context of an ocean, sea or lake, is a series of mechanical waves that propagate along the interface between water and air under the predominating influence of gravity, and thus are often referred to as surface gravity waves.
