I occasionally get onto tangents with random things like particle physics and theosophy. This is a really nifty gravity simulator that can double as a screensaver. Interesting stuff.

From the page: "Gravit is a gravity simulator which runs under Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. It's released under the GNU General Public License which makes it free. It uses Newtonian physics using the Barnes-Hut N-body algorithm. Although the main goal of Gravit is to be as accurate as possible, it also creates beautiful looking gravity patterns. It records the history of each particle so it can animate and display a path of its travels. At any stage you can rotate your view in 3D and zoom in and out. Gravit uses OpenGL with Lua, SDL, SDL_ttf and SDL_image. Screen Shots"

An amazing 3D gravity simulator. Absolutely gorgeous graphics. How am I supposed to follow this act? The bar has risen! Good sir, I accept your challenge!
