THEORIA About
θεωρία · “a looking at”

Science you can see.

Interactive models of the ideas that shape physics. Each one is built on the real equations, explained in plain language first, with the maths one tap away.

General relativity

Curved spacetime

Why clocks run slow near a black hole, how light bends and is captured, and what falling in really means.

Open
Special relativity

Special relativity

Moving clocks, shrinking rulers, and why two observers can disagree about “now” and both be right.

Open
Electromagnetism

Light as a wave

Electric and magnetic fields chasing each other through space, from an antenna to a rainbow.

Open
Optics

Rays and lenses

Light slowing down in glass, bending by Snell’s law, trapped in a fibre, focused by a lens and split by a prism.

Open
Quantum mechanics

Quantum waves

The double slit, tunnelling through walls, and the shapes of the hydrogen atom’s orbitals.

Open
Thermodynamics

Entropy and time’s arrow

Watch order dissolve in a gas of colliding particles, and see why it never runs backwards.

Open

Real equations

Every motion on screen comes from the actual physics, with automated tests against known results.

Plain language first

A short guided tour explains what to look for. The maths is there for anyone who wants it.

Honest pictures

Each model says what is calculated and what is only drawn for clarity, such as colours, glows and sizes.
