The Carl A. and Peggy J. Bluedorn Science Imaginarium is celebrating 25 Years of Inspiring Minds! Beginning in July, the Grout Museum District will kick off 25 Days of Science. Featured Activities & Events will take place throughout the month on the Main Level of the Bluedorn Science Imaginarium. 

At "Video Game Physics" we'll ask the question, ​just how realistic are some of our favorite video games, and then put them to the test!

How are the characters jumping? How fast are they REALLY running? Is leaping over a canyon REALLY possible? Compare your results to those of some classic video games to see how closely they follow the laws of physics, and how superhuman some classic characters really are.
