What it does

A calculator that speaks physics

Not just arithmetic — a tool built around the way physical formulas actually work.

Any formula you type

Enter an equation in plain text and watch it render in proper mathematical notation — fractions stacked, exponents raised, roots drawn.

π

A library of constants

Tap to insert G, c, ħ, ε₀, the mass of the Sun and dozens more. Every value pre-loaded in SI units.

±

Units handled for you

Enter values in kilometres or miles, get answers in Joules, electronvolts or calories. Conversions happen automatically.

Guides to the great equations

Clear, worked explanations of the formulas you'll use most — what each symbol means and how to compute it.

F

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation

Why every mass pulls on every other, and how the inverse-square law sets the strength of that pull.

E

Kinetic Energy

The energy of motion, where the factor of one-half comes from, and why speed matters more than mass.

q

Coulomb's Law

How electric charges attract and repel — gravity's far stronger electrical cousin.

Thought experiments in physics

Some of the greatest leaps in science began not in a laboratory but in the imagination. Explore the famous thought experiments that reshaped our understanding of reality.

Galileo's Ship

Why you can't feel smooth motion from inside a cabin — the origin of the principle of relativity.

Einstein's Elevator

How a falling elevator revealed that gravity and acceleration are the same — and that gravity bends light.

The human story

How discoveries really happened

The accidents, rivalries and flashes of insight behind landmark discoveries — from an annoying hiss that turned out to be the echo of the Big Bang to two students who reinvented the electron.

The Cosmic Microwave Background

How a stubborn hiss and a pair of pigeons led to the discovery of the Big Bang's afterglow.

Electron Spin

Two young students proposed it in an afternoon — then nearly withdrew the paper in panic.

The Neutron

Chadwick chased a radiation others mistook for gamma rays — and unlocked the nucleus.
