Quite cool, although it does show the still-existing limitations of
physics simulation engines. While the blocks are moving faster and there's
a lot of things going on, it looks realistic; however, when they are almost
still, they do not act naturally because they keep moving slowly, like they
were alive. In real life such blocks would settle rapidly and keep
completely still afterwards.
