A science toy to check out today -- Quantum Game.

Reflect photons, destructively interfere wavefunctions, and feed weird little monsters. A pretty solid game about quantum mechanics. Built by Quantum Flytrap.

Science toy for today -> Evolution by Keiwando.

Draw the bones and muscles for your stick-figure creatures, and evolve them into better racers. Free and available on the web.

@lisyarus Oh I love that! I made a similar thing, too (ah, the siren call of stick figures) - and caterpillars are amazing.

There was a battle mode and the caterpillar basically steamrolled whoever it was up against. The one creature that could beat it was a super tall stick tower that just fell down on top of it.

The Science Playground now has links to more than 120 cool science interactives, games, and collections. Thousands of projects to wade through.

People have made such amazing things - and it brings me a lot of joy to help make them all a little bit easier to find.

If you have any favorites I haven't found yet - let me know!

Adding ever more projects to The Science Playground list -- (today: 4D Golf, spacetimetravel.org, and the amazing Index of Simulations join the list).

It's fun to track down projects - folks are so creative. And I'm hoping this maybe gets a few more eyeballs onto things.

Did I tell you about the time I saw a particle decay into an Up Quark and a W-Boson?
...
It was Strange.

(Listen, they don't get better, folks)

What did the antiparticle say after it realized it was just a particle moving backwards in time?

"I wonder if Iโ€™m just a particle moving backwards in time"

Why was the photon jealous of neutrinos?

Because a photon is light, but neutrinos are very light.

How are natural units like a hovercraft?
...
Neither one cares if they are over the c.

A schoolyard classic, this one.

Why is the W-boson a great leader?
...
It knows how to take charge.

A neutrino walked into a bar, then continued out the other side.

Why did the Tau particle cross the road?
...
I can only imagine because of extreme time dilation.

Don't worry Z-boson fans, I've got something for you:

Why didnโ€™t the Z-boson mind the pandemic?
...
It preferred attending events virtually.

Why does the Up Quarkโ€™s electric charge need to go to the dentist?
...
Because itโ€™s two-thirds.

How is a virtual particle like a slug?
...
Neither are on shell.

What did Sherlock Holmes immediately deduce upon hearing a W-boson had been murdered?
...
The killer was left-handed.

See? The word 'elementary' is not in sight here! It's possible!

Why did the Higgs boson use coupons to buy a dustbuster?
...
Because it expects a high value from its vacuums.

Did you know that lone neutrons are amazing at baseball?

Yeah, they go pro after just 15 minutes.

Why did the skeleton fail to unify the strong, weak, and electric forces?

Because it didnโ€™t have the GUTs.

How is a virtual photon like my social media posts?

They both repel likes.

I feel like there are three particle physics jokes that get reused. (Yes, I'm positive.)

So I made some more.

They are bad - but I rest assured because the original three jokes are also bad. (1/too many)

Did you hear that the Higgs Mechanism broke down?
...
Yeah, the other particles canโ€™t weight until itโ€™s fixed.

Google actually has a pretty cool little science game on their front page (for Valentine's Day). Pick an element, then see if you're a good "match" with other elements.
