		fl body, in physics, an ideal fl substance that absorbs all and reflects none of the radiant energy falling on it.
		Since a fl body is a perfect absorber of radiant energy, by the laws of thermodynamics it must also be a perfect emitter of radiation.
		In thermodynamics the principle of the fl body is used to determine the nature and amount of the energy emitted by a heated object.

	Ragdoll physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer game engines, ragdoll physics are a type of procedural animation that is often used as a replacement for traditional static death animations.
		This had the advantage of low CPU usage, as all that was needed to animate a "dying character" was choose from a set number of pre-drawn animations.
		A ragdoll is therefore a collection of multiple rigid bodies (each of which is ordinarily tied to a bone in the graphics engine's skeletal animation system) tied together by a system of constraints that restrict how the bones may move relative to each other.

	Physics engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A physics engine is a computer program that simulates Newtonian physics models, using variables such as mass, velocity, friction and wind resistance.
		In video games, or other forms of interactive computing, the physics engine will have to simplify its calculations and lower their accuracy so that they can be performed in time for the game to respond at an appropriate rate for gameplay.
		Physics based character animation in the past only used rigid body dynamics because they are faster and easier to calculate, but modern games and movies are starting to use soft body physics now that it is possible.

	Physics - Crystalinks
		Physics is the science that deals with the structure of matter and the interactions between the fundamental constituents of the observable universe.
		Physics plays an important role in all the natural sciences, however, and all such fields have branches in which physical laws and measurements receive special emphasis, bearing such names as astrophysics, geophysics, biophysics, and even psychophysics.
		The body of physics developed up to about the turn of the 20th century, known as classical physics, can largely account for the motions of macroscopic objects that move slowly with respect to the speed of light and for such phenomena as heat, sound, electricity, magnetism, and light.

	Physical - Overview: Physics Engine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In a traditional physics engine, an object such as a box is treated as one discrete entity simulated using Newtonian mechanics.
		Furthermore, rigid body physics engines are unable to simulate environments with complex or high numbers of interactions: water flowing over a mill wheel, for example, or flame eating at a building.
		In a mass-spring system, physical objects like a box are not whole entities in and of themselves, but are formed out of many smaller particles, referred to in the engine as atoms.

		In 1924 the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose sent a paper to Einstein in which he derived the Planck law for fl-body radiation by treating the photons as a gas of identical particles.
		Atoms can either be bosons or fermions - the latter are particles that obey the exclusion principle and cannot therefore gather in the same quantum state - depending on their intrinsic angular momentum or "spin".

		The geometry of bodies plays an important role in determining the physics of motion as well as the physics of contact not to mention detecting when contact occurs.
		If the body space axes are aligned in this manner, then the computation can be optimized because the inverse of a diagonal matrix is another diagonal matrix with its elements being the reciprocals of the corresponding elements in the original matrix.
		To determine the coefficient of restitution of a contact an average of the coefficient of restitution of the two bodies involved is taken.

	Chris Hecker's Rigid Body Dynamics Information
		Milestone: You should have a 3D rigid body simulator at this point, with an appropriate orientation representation chosen by understanding and weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods.
		Up to this point, we have some amazing simulations going, but our object are all individual rigid bodies, without joints between them to hold them together (although the adventurous among you might have tried to use springs to build an articulated rigid body, with varying levels of success).
		There are also the issues of how you create physically based worlds and articulated bodies; you can't just throw polygons together and make an animation loop anymore, but at the same time you can't expect your artists to know all this material.

	Research Interests - Wayne Polyzou
		The goal of few-body physics is to constrain theories by comparing the results of complete experimental measurements to ``exact'' numerical calculations.
		Cluster properties, which relate the physics of many-body systems to the physics of isolated few-body subsystems, provide a means to use few-body methods to determine the Hamiltonian of complex systems with great confidence.
		These considerations mean that a theoretical description of strong interaction physics on these scales must be consistent with quantum mechanics (because the sizes and momentum transfers are at the limit dictated by the uncertainty principle) and special relativity (because the kinetic and rest energy of the strongly interacting particles are comparable).

	Rigid body dynamics
		The way I've made it is probably not completely realistic, because I only use velocity vectors to calculate the position of each joint of the "ragdoll", based on an initial velocity vector applied to a joint.
		Note that in the diagram, the entire body should be rigid, because of the angle restriction.
		That's what I though at first, but that's not correct because the whole body should rotate, until the rotation stabilizes when the body is in kind of a horizontal position (I don't know how to explain it better but if you don't understand I'll draw a diagram).

		Further, the unfinished problem of fitting "chaos" into all of this indicates that the ongoing physics of the three body coulomb problem is alive and well, and that these few body systems provide a laboratory for the exploration of quantum chaos.

	Total Kinetic Energy of a Body
		I was reading my physics text and it came up with the standard formula for the kinetic energy of a rigid body in motion: the sum of the translational and rotational kinetic energy.
		That got me wondering whether we could include the internal energy by simply taking the sum of the kinetic energy of each particle when viewed in a frame where the translational and rotational velocity appear to be zero.
		This would seem to imply that the total kinetic energy of a body is more or less than the sum of its translation, rotational, and internal energy (assuming the internal energy is as i have defined it).

		This parallels a similar decline in the number of physicists who are actively engaged in such experiments.
		INTRODUCTION Low-energy, few-body, hadron physics is an active field of current research in the United States, though the number of physicists engaged in such work and the number of U.S. laboratories where such experiments can be undertaken has declined substantially.
		This decline began in the 1970s when physicists in many accelerator labs turned their attention from studies with light ion beams to the newer field of studies with heavy ions.

		the static world, or another body marked as immovable), then all collisions between this body and other immovable bodies are processed (slightly differently to previously described - the normal impulse is applied without affecting the angular velocity).
		After this, the body is itself marked temporarily as immovable, and processing of the body-list continues.
		The reason I do this instead of physically moving objects is that if you move an object during a penetration-resolution loop, you'd need to do collision detection on it again in case you move it into an object that it wasn't originally touching.
