If minecraft has a physics engine and some models to manipulate (not blocks, that would get annoying) then it would be even better than gmod! Models could "act" as blocks (IE: If they are in the space of a block they would take up that space, no block could be put there, and water couldn't flow past)
I know Its probably stupid to suggest this as physics (good physics) are typically a resource hog.
I think I remember reading somewhere that Notch plans to implement ragdoll physics for the player models. If so, some sort of rudimentary physics engine might not be out of the question.
Ragdoll physics for players would be good. But when would they appear? If you fall to far? What about sand or gravel falling on you? Actually, is sand and gravel falling considered physics?

I wouldn't listen to a thing I say. I'm probably insane.

Technically it is I guess..
I think ragdolls would appear when being shot or something, or while being torn apart by a blocky bear in survival mode.
heheh, torn apart players flying everywhere, woo.
Or in single player, when you make those giant pits for all the mobs to fall into. They could bounce a little and flail around. Finally, mobs will have a use.

Having a simple check for if there is something below it and if not moving there is extremply simple, olny one line in most programming languages, but I suppose it is the basic element in any physics.

This would be neat but I don't think it's necessary. As you imply at the end there, this would probably be more trouble than it's worth.
Relic of a bygone age.
Maybe rudimentary, but high-end?

here's some pseudo-code:
[code}
if !BlockExistsBelow(This) then {this.z--}
else {ESPLODE!!!!!!!!!!}
