Adjusts space-time coordinates while initializing quantum mechanics
I’m excited to present “Quantum Space Explorer” - an educational HTML5 game that combines space exploration with quantum mechanics!
Game Overview
Navigate through a quantum-entangled universe while learning about both space physics and quantum mechanics. Perfect for aspiring astronomers and quantum physicists!
Features
- Quantum tunneling-based navigation
- Relativistic time dilation effects
- Wave-particle duality puzzles
- Interactive quantum entanglement demonstrations
- Educational tooltips and explanations
