About Physics Wonders
Physics Wonders is an interactive physics education platform covering 103 concepts across 24 chapters. Every concept follows a four-step learning loop: surprise yourself with a quiz, see the answer in action, understand the physics, then explore a playground.
Our Philosophy
Physics is not about memorizing equations — it's about seeing the world differently. Every concept starts with a question that challenges your intuition, because real understanding comes from confronting what you think you know.
We believe the best physics demos don't just show you something — they make you feel something. That moment of surprise when a ping-pong ball stays trapped in a funnel, or when a gyroscope defies gravity — that's the spark that lights curiosity.
How It Works
Quiz
A counterintuitive question to challenge your assumptions.
Answer
An interactive simulation reveals the surprising truth.
Physics
The equation and real-world connections explained beautifully.
Playground
A hands-on playground to explore edge cases and build deep intuition.
What We Cover
Classical Mechanics
Electricity & Magnetism
Vibrations & Waves
Attribution
Inspired by the tradition of demonstration-based physics teaching at MIT and the joy of seeing physics come alive through interactive experiments. Our curriculum follows the structure of MIT's introductory physics courses (8.01, 8.02, 8.03).
All simulations are original creations built with HTML5 Canvas and React, designed to run at 60fps on any device.
