Experience the hidden world of particles Quantum is a real-time particle life sandbox for exploring emergent motion, artificial physics, and complex systems. Build fields with up to 10,000 particles, tune how classes attract or repel each other, and watch simple rules turn into flowing structures, swarms, or chaotic patterns. Why Quantum stands out: - Real-time particle simulation with four interacting particle classes. - Seamless 2D fields and perspective 3D volumes with touch rotation. - Rule editor for custom attraction and repulsion matrices. - Temperature, viscosity, solid/fluid edge behavior, and force tools. - Black hole and white hole tools for live interaction. - Save and load fields, rule sets, and color schemes. - P3 color support and vivid visual presets for generative art. Use Quantum as a physics toy, creative sandbox, teaching aid, or generative art lab. It is built for people who enjoy science, cellular automata, n-body systems, chaos, and beautiful simulations.

THE MONUMENT • The whole circle raised: thirty sarsen uprights and their lintel ring, the five great trilithons, the bluestone circle and horseshoe, the Altar, Slaughter and Heel Stones, the Station Stone rectangle and the fifty-six Aubrey holes — every stone carrying its Petrie number. • On real ground: the terrain is Salisbury Plain's own survey data, and the ridge the midsummer sun clears is the one that actually stands there. • Weathered sarsen and Preseli bluestone, damp courses and lichen, wind moving through the grass, torchlight for the dark hours. THE CALENDAR • The Wheel of the Year: solstices, equinoxes and the four cross-quarter festivals — Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh, Samhain — each landing on the instant the sun actually arrives, not on a calendar date. • Moon phases, eclipse seasons and the 18.6-year lunar standstill, solved from the real ephemeris. • A time machine from 3000 BC to AD 3000. Watch Thuban hold the celestial pole for the builders in an age when Polaris was no use to anyone. • The sky over your own longitude, or over Wiltshire. HONEST ARCHAEOLOGY Every claim the app makes about the monument carries its tier — Established, Debated, or Modern tradition — with the sources one tap away. The solstice axis is established. The equinoxes at Stonehenge are modern tradition, and the app says so. Free to explore in fifteen-minute sessions. One purchase unlocks the clock and the calendar for good — no subscription, no account, no network, and no data collected.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Henge at every 10 days against Quantum's every 5 weeks. Henge also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
