GRAVITY SIMULATOR, a multiplayer experience from the World Science Festival, is an N-body simulation that demonstrates gravitational effects, including the first-of-a-kind visualization of gravity in three dimensions. This cosmic playground, developed with teacher input, lets users explore various exciting phenomena that virtual reality can show like no other medium, including gravitational waves, stellar vampirism, plate tectonics, volcanism, and the composition of stars, planets, and moons. The experience allows users to experiment with concepts like habitable zones and Hill spheres. This interactive simulation provides an engaging way to learn about complex scientific concepts while enjoying it together with peers and educators in an online environment.
Teachers of Astronomy will be happy to see a familiar H-R Diagram from which students can pull stars and throw them directly into the simulation. While teachers of Earth Science will have an exciting possibility to open our home planet and observe the work of different types of volcanoes that exist on it. Students can play across four zoom levels allowing them to handle vastly different objects ranging from tiny moons like Enceladus to supermassive black holes like Sagittarius A* and supergiant stars like Betelgeuse. Download GRAVITY SIMULATOR and dive into the captivating world of gravity in a dynamic astronomical sandbox where your every decision affects the entire universe!
