It's so easy to think science, especially the Big Abstract Bits, is really complicated but I loved the way this app not only helped me understand much better than anything I have come across before, but feel pretty inspired about how amazing it all is. Sorry, cheesy, but true. Have a go!

About this app

SUMMARY

Galaxy Formation is a multi-platform educational app depicting how dark matter particles in the universe clump together over billions of years to form things like stars, planets and galaxies. The app does this with a lite, real-time simulation of thousands of n-body particles that are attracted by gravitational forces that form galaxies when combined.
