PHYSICS, STORIES & THE RECORD · 2026.07

Run thephysicsyourself.

Simulations first. Stories and the strange record alongside. You decide what they mean.

The core of this site is a set of interactive simulations: real physics running live in your browser, from orbits and entanglement to starship engines and the search for life. Around them, reviews of books and films that take big ideas seriously, and plain-language notes on the physics. And where the record turns strange, the UAP files are archived too, sourced and labelled, yours to judge.

The Drake EquationSETI · INST-19 LIVE An elongated reddish-brown interstellar object tumbling through deep space, rim-lit in amber by a distant Sun, a cyan hyperbolic trajectory sweeping past hairline planet orbits. ’Oumuamua1I/2017 U1 · INST-18
