The Weird World of Quantum Physics
Like Duolingo, but for The Weird World of Quantum Physics. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.

Key ideas in The Weird World of Quantum Physics
- Wave-particle duality applies to all objects, not just light
- Matter and energy are not two separate categories but share the same fundamental behaviors
- Particles create an interference pattern of stripes, not just two clusters
- The stripes prove that the particles traveled through the slits as spreading waves that overlapped
- The dual nature of all matter and energy
- Interpreting the results of the Double Slit experiment
- Quantum objects don't have a single defined path until measured
- The 'wave' in quantum physics represents the probability of finding a particle in a certain spot
- The shift from deterministic paths to probabilistic locations
- Observation forces the system to collapse into a single definite state
- A particle stops behaving like a wave of possibilities once it is detected
- Large objects have so much mass and interact with so many air molecules that their 'waviness' cancels out
- Quantum effects are only noticeable when an object is small enough to be isolated from constant bumping and interference
- The effect of measurement on a quantum system
- Why quantum behavior is not visible in the macroscopic world
- Particles do not have a single location or state before measurement
You've tried the other tabs
Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.
One answer, then back to scrolling.
Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives The Weird World of Quantum Physics the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
