How Your Fridge Works
Your fridge doesn't create cold — it steals heat from inside and dumps it behind. The same four-stage cycle runs your AC, your heat pump, and every supermarket freezer on Earth.

Why Does Ice Float?
Ice is a solid sitting on top of its own liquid. Almost nothing else in the universe does this — and it's the reason life survived every ice age.

Why Is the Sky Blue?
The sky has no blue paint — so where does the colour come from? One equation, λ⁻⁴, explains the blue sky, red sunsets, white clouds, and why space is black.

How Airplanes Fly
700 tonnes of metal, 35,000 feet up. Bernoulli, Newton, angle of attack, jet engines, contrails — and why a delta wing can fly at 35° without stalling.

Lightning & Thunder
The sky cracked open. Here's why — charge separation, stepped leaders, 30,000 K plasma, and how a metal spike on a roof can save a building.

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
The universe has a secret it can't tell you. The more precisely you know where a particle is, the less you can know about where it's going — and this isn't about bad instruments.

Schrödinger's Cat
A cat, a box, a radioactive atom. Until you look, the cat is both alive and dead. The thought experiment that broke quantum mechanics.

The Double-Slit Experiment
Fire one electron at two slits. It goes through both. Watch which slit it uses. It goes through one. The universe is paying attention to you.

Wave-Particle Duality
Light has been trolling physicists for 300 years. Simulate the double-slit experiment, explore the photoelectric effect, and calculate de Broglie wavelengths.

How it works

01 / FOLLOW

New post daily

Every day on @axiomscience — a 10-slide carousel breaking down one idea. Hook first, rigour after. Save it for reference.

02 / CLICK

Go deeper here

Every carousel links to axiom.science. Each topic has its own interactive page — simulate, experiment, explore at your own pace.

03 / UNDERSTAND

Make it click

Reading about physics is one thing. Playing with a real double-slit simulator or running a Nash Equilibrium game is another.

04 / RETURN

New topic weekly

This library grows every week. Subscribe to get new explainers straight to your inbox — no algorithm between you and the science.

Stay in the loop

New explainers,
straight to you.

No algorithm. No noise. Just a note when a new interactive topic goes live — and early access to what's coming next.

Shape the library

What should we
visualise next?

Every topic on this site started as a question someone wanted answered. If there's a concept you've always struggled to grasp — or one you'd love to see made interactive — tell us. The most-requested ideas get built next.

Past suggestions that made it in
✓ Prisoner's Dilemma
✓ Schrödinger's Cat
✓ Nash Equilibrium

We'll add it to the board. If your topic gets built, you'll be the first to know.
