A physicsplosion is what sometimes occurs in video gaming when working with an unstable physics engine. It often happens when many physics-related things are taking place at the same time within a small area. The objects in motion, which are usually all touching each other, suddenly fly away from one another (or sometimes in random directions). This sudden and unwarranted blast of virtual pressure is what's known as a physicsplosion.
Alternative terms include physixplosion and physics explosion, the latter of which is where the term comes from. The term may also be applied to events in which objects in a game world are moving quickly and erratically without any real reason. Such things are probably the result of glitches in collision detection. This second kind of physicsplosion is usually referred to as a "spaz out."

Though there are many examples, one more well-known one may be the "get down" glitch from the N64 game Goldeneye (1997), which caused characters to spin and flail around a central point in their bodies when the game cartridge was not fully inserted into the console. This is an example of a "spaz out" physicsplosion.

Get the Physicsplosion mug.The act of appearing to work really hard in a physical nature in order to receive the desired outcome of one or more people individually or in a team format. If others around you perceive that you are working incredibly hard, they will feel that they also need to work harder to accomplish a task. The thing is, the person practicing Reverse Physicology is actually faking their effort and is not working at all.
Jim used Reverse Physicology by appearing to strain intensely to pull the dock out of the water, which made the other five people on his team work harder to match his "fake" intense effort, thereby accomplish removing the dock from the water in record time.

I give up! Quantum Physics is just too hard! How do people even come up with this stuff?!
What the hell is reality???!!!

Get the Physical Graffiti mug.A super mathematical genius that kicks ass at solving problems and seeing the world like nobody else. Oh, and the guy engineers are pissed off at, because they can't do shit.
Engineer 1 : Hey Mark, that guy is a physicist!
Engineer 2 : Yeah, he does my work, because I can't do shit.

Get the physicist mug.'da greatest of 'da sciences, 'yo! dis here discipline lets you look up mother nature's skirt and damn, if it aint all crazy up in there. 'ya feel me bra?
and all you haters gonna tell me that physics is boring, physics sucks...well it just aint so. don't judge physics by your high school physics class where your teacher was probably some old white guy who mumbled at the board. open up your eyes and look around you -- physics gives you the tools to examine the world and understand how things work. we might as well apply that to social structures & change things for the better. physics=power, 'yo. study it.
