They don’t have to be extremely fact/journal orientated (e.g. [Scientific American](http://sciam.com/), [New Scientist](http://www.newscientist.com/) etc.). Actually, I was thinking more of stuff along the lines of [The Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics site](http://www.intuitor.com/moviephysics/). Stuff that’s got wacky ideas on how to explore and apply physics. Like “the physics of SEX site” - or something like that. And since I already have some sites on biology, I’m ONLY looking for cool physics pages. Mmmmm K? ---

You could try using the Physics topics in the [StumbleUpon](http://www.stumbleupon.com/) toolbar - which is a fun thing to have anyway 🙂 ---

I believe you are looking for the one and only [Bunny Survival Tests](http://www.keypad.org/bunnies/index.html) ---

There’s always the [Britney Spears Guide to Semiconductor Physics](http://britneyspears.ac/lasers.htm). ---

> [@NoClueBoy](#): > > [Add satellites to this system](http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/applets/satellites.html) That’s awesome. I got 5 to persist for 30 minutes, still waiting for them to crash. ---

[Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex](http://www.rawbw.com/~svw/superman.html) (I guess this is biophysics) [Bad Astronomy](http://www.badastronomy.com/). I dunno if astronomy counts as physics, but this guy is on the SDMB as **The Bad Astronomer**. [Do This Now](http://www.amasci.com/~billb/cgi-bin/instr/instr.html). Not all physics, but some of it is. I think this guy is on the SDMB too. [Reality Carnival](http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/pickover/pc/realitycarnival.html). Not all physics either. Some crackpot stuff and some really cool stuff. ---

Check out some of the games at [Chronic Logic](http://www.chroniclogic.com). They’re all based around pretty solid physics engines. I particularly recommend Gish and Bridge Builder. ---

For some (almost) mindless physics fun…[Spaced Penguin](http://www.bigideafun.com/penguins/arcade/spaced_penguin/default.htm). No, you probably won’t learn anything, but it’s a decent time-waster. ---

And I forgot [Bridge Builder](http://www.5star-shareware.com/Games/Building/bridge-builder.html), one of the most addicting shareware bits I’ve ever downloaded. This is different from the game **Miller** mentioned. ---

Gish is the absolute shit. Creepy and cute at the same time, like a Junko Mizuno comic. Ah, the joys of controlling a 12-lb ball of tar, jumping on the big weird guys and hearing the neck crack like a stalk of celery… Oh, yeah, www. [timecube.com](http://timecube.com) . I’m not sure what it is, but it’s definitely interesting.
