Mass Media Companies Established In 2005
Mass is an intrinsic property of a body. It was traditionally believed to be related to the quantity of matter in a physical body, until the discovery of the atom and particle physics. It was found that different atoms and different elementary particles, theoretically with the same amount of matter, have nonetheless different masses. Mass in modern physics has multiple definitions which are conceptually distinct, but physically equivalent. Mass can be experimentally defined as a measure of the body's inertia, meaning the resistance to acceleration (change of velocity) when a net force is applied. The object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies. The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). In physics, mass is not the same as weight, even though mass is often determined by measuring the object's weight using a spring scale, rather than balance scale comparing it directly with known masses. An object on the Moon would weigh ...

Crowdfunding has been used to fund a wide range of for-profit, entrepreneurial ventures such as artistic and creative projects, medical expenses, travel, and community-oriented social entrepreneurship projects. Although crowdfunding has been suggested to be highly li ...

Founded in July 2000 by Tim Schafer shortly after his departure from LucasArts, Double Fine's first two games – ''Psychonauts'' and ''Brütal Legend'' – underperformed publishers' expectations despite critical praise.

Schafer has since repeated these Amnesia Fortnights, using fan-voting mechanics, to help select and build indie game, smaller titles. Double Fine is also credited with driving interest in crowdfunding in video games, having been able to raise more than for the development of ''Broken Age'', at the time one of the largest projects funded by Kickstarter, a ...
