Universe Sandbox² is the highly anticipated sequel to the original Universe Sandbox
Universe Sandbox² is a physics-based space simulator that lets you create, destroy, and interact on an unimaginable scale. Combine gravity, weather, collisions, and real-time material interactions to reveal the beauty of our universe and the fragility of our planet. Universe Sandbox² includes the desktop version and a new VR mode compatible with the HTC Vive.
This is a free, automatic update
Simulate N-body gravity simulation at almost any speed using Newtonian mechanics. Real science, real physics – no supercomputers required. Collide Planets & Stars Epic, mind-blowing collisions of huge planetary bodies.
Then add water… Deform surfaces
Shape Earth’s Climate Watch sea ice grow and recede with the seasons due to the tilt of the Earth – change the tilt and the seasons change. Or move the Earth away from the Sun and freeze the entire planet. Discover more… Terraform Planets Add carbon dioxide to a planet’s atmosphere to warm it up.
Crush planets with asteroids and comets, leaving huge molten craters
