nice physics stuff, did you do this during your compsci class?
it seems that's when you seem to be bored most of the time.Computer Science Canada Gravity |

I was bored in comp sci. so i made this |

Great program for being bored. Is it random or does it actually have a scientific way to it? |

uses Newton's gravitational attraction formula and some vector math Fg=(m1*m2*G)/(d^2) |

I watched for 15 mins and they dont seem to be going into the center, they stay on there path ,is it becasue its based on a real algorithm |

wow catalyst - if I was your CS teacher I'd made sure you're ALWAYS bored in my class
shorthair - they damn better stay on the path, else Earth will fly right into the sun, and as far as I know, that ain't cool... that's in fact very HOT  |

wow that's a really good program! but seriously shorthair, 15 minutes?! crazy.. anyone know off the top of their head if that's the same formula used in the example programs that deal with gravity? |

when i made one , i used potential energy , and kinetic energy formulas , and obviously your good ol , s = d / t, d = s * t , t = d/s ,.............. i had alot more than one formula |

Its not turing , as its dense with graphics ( uses direct X , 0 made with Blitz 3d , you should bee able to understand the code , il ost it if your still intersted in it , Here is a tutorial ( i have written yes i actually wrote it ) concerning hte gravitational equations , you will need for orbit , and force attraction ===============================================

interesting, how'd you learn to do this?? I am interested in seeing this program, if you would be so kind as to post it
I think in gr 12 (thats the old gr 12, back when there was OAC / gr 13) my brother made a program (not sure what in) that showed the solar system in its orbit. It also allowed you to change values such as mass for the planets, distance from the sun, etc. I'd like to learn to make a program like that, but I'm not there yet..  someday.. |

You didn't move from Ajax by chance did you? A few years back when I was teaching in Ajax I had a student make what sounds like the exact same program. |

This reminds me of a black hole, except its not black, you know with the event horizon and stuff. A great extension to this program would be to have random rays of light passing, and those that come to the event horizon, would get sucked in. (I of course have no idea how to do it) |

basic formulas of light , justneed to know that light always travels in straight lines , we know light travels at , 3.0 x 10 to the 8 m/s , so just give me a dirrection ditsance and a time , and its there right in fromnt of you , also you can use light ray diagrams to find the position of the light |

black holes aren't black necessarily black paulbian there is no light to reflect off the black hole to show us what colour the black hole is.
a black hole could be pink 
shorthair, "light always travels in straight lines" you said. except when near a black hole right? or am I hugely mistaken  |

Ah, but if you do a simulation of a black hole, the center should be black, maybe the surroundings should have colors, cause there's light and other cosmic rays thats pulled in a crazy swirl but not inside the event horizon. |
|
| Author: | Cervantes [ Sat Jan 31, 2004 1:12 pm ] |
| Post subject: | |
if its not pulled inside the event horizon then how would it be reflected off the black hole to show us the black hole's colour? |
|
| Author: | shorthair [ Sat Jan 31, 2004 1:14 pm ] |
| Post subject: | |
nothing reflects off a black hole , it apparently sucks up all light , so we could never actually see one , because there would e no light that reflects off it , we cant recodt it becuase the lense relys on light coming back into it , also why is there a need for a black hole , i can make an event horizon , and a darn good reflecton engine based on a rotating side view of hte planets |

some radiation comes out of a black hole its called hawking radiation |

its a bit complicated but in a nutshell according to quantum theory there are pairs of virtual particles (one normal one antimatter) randomly appearing and disappering in "empty space" all the time stephen hawking proved that if this happens near the event horizon of a black hole, one of the particles may fall in and the other would would escape the black hole via energy from the mass of the black hole itself this is the "hawking radiation" (it solved the confilict of black holes with the second law of thermodynamics) this radiation implies that black holes will eventually evaporate away (there is a lot of math and such behind this as well, and it seems very complicated) |

I think I heard of that hawking radiation bit before, at least some of it. that seems so wierd though, that matter and antimatter particles could just pop in and out of 'empty space'. and if they pop in and out of 'empty space', why can't they do it in 'not empty space' like a meter to my left  |

i beleive it happens everywhere , but its only noticable when the space is "empty". There was an experiment that proved these pairs. Two metal plates were put really close together in a vacuum. This space was too small for the pairs to form, so the pressure from the pairs was less between the plates then around them. So the pressure difference pushed the plates together. (known as the casimir effect) |

Ha, I get all my science facts from science fiction (oh the irony). Seriously, many science fiction books are written by scientists, and has real science facts. You just need to tell the difference between facts or fiction. |

I'm reading a book called Physics for Game Developers by David M. Bourg. I'm just at the beginning of the book, but from what i've seen of it so far, I would recommend it for antone who wants to put real time physics in their games. You don;t have to seperate fact from fiction in this book |
