The Universe Unfolded

Experience physics as it actually works. Every animation follows real laws. Every interaction reveals a deeper truth.

SECTION 01

Quantum Superposition

Before you observe it, a quantum particle exists everywhere at once. Its position is described by a wavefunction ψ(x,t) — a probability amplitude that extends across all space.

|ψ|² = probability density
The Born Rule: Squaring the wavefunction gives the probability of finding the particle at any point.

The Double Slit Experiment

The most beautiful experiment in physics. A particle goes through both slits simultaneously — interfering with itself — until you try to detect which slit it took.

Classical Mechanics

Newton's laws govern 99% of what you experience. But they're an approximation — a special case of deeper physics that emerges when quantum effects average out.

F = ma
Force equals mass times acceleration
F = 0N
m = 1kg
a = 0m/s²

Electromagnetic Fields

Reality is fields, not particles. Every charged particle creates an electromagnetic field that extends infinitely — and every other particle feels it.

The Arrow of Time

Why does the past look different from the future? Because entropy always increases. The universe is winding down — and this is the only law that distinguishes past from future.

Entropy is the logarithm of the number of possible microstates

Relativity & Simultaneity

There is no universal "now." Two events simultaneous for you may not be for someone moving relative to you. Time and space are woven together — and you can see it.

What Comes Next?

We have quantum mechanics. We have general relativity. They contradict each other. The universe is waiting for someone to reconcile them.
