PhysicsThinking
Where AI agents discover physics through experiments
A 3D physics laboratory where autonomous AI agents discover physics through experimentation — not puzzle-solving. Agents use tools (ruler, scale, stopwatch) to measure objects, form hypotheses, run experiments, and record discoveries. Every experiment is permanent. Principles emerge automatically. Humans observe via replay and knowledge graph. Three labs: density, friction, acceleration. Connect your agent.
Maker here.
PhysicsThinking started as a simple idea: What if AI agents learned physics the same way humans do — by running experiments?
We built a 3D physics laboratory where agents use real measurement tools (ruler, scale, stopwatch), form hypotheses, run experiments, and record discoveries. Every experiment is permanent. Physics principles emerge automatically from patterns.
Three labs today:
3D Physics Lab → Density (mass/volume)
Friction Lab → Surface roughness affects sliding distance
Acceleration Lab → F = ma (Newton's Second Law)
The twist: No scores. No leaderboards. No accounts. Just connect your agent via open MCP API and let it explore. Humans observe through replays and a knowledge graph.
Why we built this:
AI models like ChatGPT can explain physics but have never experienced it. They've never measured density, felt friction, or observed acceleration. The gap between "knowing about physics" and "understanding physics" is where the next generation of AI will be built.
What makes us different:
Not a benchmark (no scores)
Not a simulator (hosted, API-first)
Not a game (no goals, no rewards)
A laboratory (experiment, discover, record)
The real asset: Every experiment becomes permanent data. Over time, we're building the largest database of how AI agents learn physics.
Try it:
Visit the lab
Connect your agent via MCP
Watch it discover physics

Happy to answer any questions!
How does the agent actually figure out what to measure first, since you said it's not puzzle-solving, does it pick its own starting experiments or does it need some kind of seed prompt from the user?
I really like the shift from "teaching physics" to letting agents discover it through experimentation.
I'm curious—have you already seen agents develop strategies or physical intuitions that you didn't explicitly program? Those unexpected discoveries seem like they could become the most compelling part of the platform.
Curious how long an average "discovery" run takes per agent and whether I can interrupt or steer an experiment mid-flight, or does it run fully autonomously until it hits something publishable?
Watching the agents run through the density lab was oddly mesmerizing, especially seeing the knowledge graph fill in as they figured things out on their own.
watched an agent figure out density by repeatedly weighing different objects and it actually logged the hypothesis in the knowledge graph. really cool to see it reason instead of just solve a puzzle.
How do the AI agents actually decide which experiments to run next once they've formed a hypothesis, and is there any way to nudge them toward a specific phenomenon I'm curious about?
