Core concepts, clearly explained

Six foundational ideas that unlock the rest of physics. Each one blends visual intuition with the maths that makes it precise.

Why Physics Fundamentals

Built for understanding, not cramming

Six things that make learning physics here genuinely click.

Complete Physics Curriculum

From kinematics to quantum mechanics — every core topic, explained in a clear, connected sequence.

Interactive Simulations

Ten browser games let you tweak variables and watch real physics respond in real time.

Practice That Builds Mastery

Worked examples and graded problems that turn passive reading into genuine understanding.

Conceptual Understanding First

We lead with intuition, then bring in the maths — so the equations finally make sense.

Smart Calculators

Twenty physics calculators that solve for any variable and show every formula used.

Free & Accessible

No paywall, no fluff. High-quality physics education that stays free for everyone, forever.

Comprehensive curriculum

Six topics, one clear path

Every major branch of introductory physics, each with in-depth articles, calculators and games.

Physics, playable

Ten physics games you can play in your browser

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are physics fundamentals?

Physics fundamentals are the core principles — Newton's laws, conservation of energy and momentum, waves, thermodynamics and electromagnetism — that every other topic in physics is built on. Master these and the rest of physics becomes far easier to follow.

Is everything really free?

Yes. Every article, calculator and interactive game on Physics Fundamentals is free to use, with no account required. We believe high-quality physics education should be available to everyone.

Who writes the content?

Articles are written and reviewed by a team of physics educators and graduate-level specialists across mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and modern physics, so explanations are both accurate and genuinely clear.

What topics do you cover?

We cover the full introductory physics syllabus: kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, rotational motion, gravitation, oscillations, waves, optics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and an introduction to modern physics.

How is this different from a textbook?

Textbooks tell; we let you play. Alongside clear writing you get interactive simulations and calculators that let you change variables and watch the physics respond — building intuition a static page never can.

How should I start learning?

Start with kinematics and Newton's laws, use the matching game or calculator to test each idea, then work outward into energy, waves and electromagnetism. Each article links to the tools and topics that come next.
