Quick Look: Universe Sandbox

I really want someone to put a soccer ball in space now

This looks perfect for spec'ing out your Traveller RPG Universe!

Time to recreate every system in the Mass Effect universe.

The only question you really need... what if it blew up? This honestly looks awesome, especially if used while high (like Brad mentioned). Great QL.

Also it's awesome that Brad has some knowledge of actual astronomy. My hats off.

I think this is kinda cool. It could be a good way to teach the  milankovitch cycles (variables in Earth's orbit and rotation, which can be hard for lot of people to understand), and how it effects and has effected Earth's climate.

Note to self: Never give Brad or Jeff God powers.

I wonder what our solar system would look like with an extra-solar capture of a brown dwarf...  Maybe I should find out.

Based on a 1960's educational short film "Powers of 10" that I saw in school, I conjecture that the cool part of the pre-loaded simulation called powers of 10 that Jeff was talking about is being able to zoom out really far into space. 

Space.

This is probably one of my favourite quick looks, funny and informative.

Yo, space.

Cool.  It seems like one of those things you can play around on the computers with back in elementary school.

this is so damn badass. im buying this right now

"OH MAN, I feel like I should be really high right now."

"I hit the explode button on the milky way"

This quick look needs some space music.

Dude............this seems like way more fun than I thought it would initially be.

BREAKING NEWS: Space is cool, yo.

I love physics.

Would be neat to get a bunch of different planets in orbits similar to the stuff they're finding around extra-solar worlds. Very speedy Jupiter-sized planets nearest the sun and all of that. 

Most of the sims I've seen have been dedicated to positions rather than gravity, so this is cool to see.

Ur anus exploding XDDD cracking me up !!

" Also it's awesome that Brad has some knowledge of actual astronomy. My hats off. "

This looks fucking great.

I love space more than anyone, this simulation is just too unrealistic for me. You just blew up the Milky Way galaxy and it only ended up with a mass of 9000 suns? Something is wrong there. It's not just that, the gravity/speed effects are a real let down.

How much are the requirements for this because my PC isn't super great (I can run TF2 well enough) but I'd like to play this.

The ironic thing is that Brad still died in this QL.

... But what if this Quick Look EXPLODED?

This would be much better if this was done by the superb combination of jack black, kyle and seth rogen, that is all.

@Lind_L_Taylor:  :D god damn Reformation Coalition

I love the planet ur anus

Because someone had to do it
 
  

it's as if i can see god's face melting. Indiana Jones style.

These games make me miss old Maxis games.

Carl Sagan weeps a tear of joy.

got 99 problems but da moon ain't one

Steam sale 2$!!!

If anyone is still interested in this -- more than 2 years after this QL -- 'Universe Sandbox' is currently only $1.99 on Steam as part of the holiday sale.

This confirms for me there is a God
