Scientists and educators struggle to make complex physics concepts tangible and interactive for learners

Physics instructors, students, and science communicators lack accessible tools to visualize abstract relativistic phenomena in real-time, forcing them to rely on static diagrams, videos, or expensive specialized software. Current solutions either oversimplify the physics, require technical expertise to set up, or are locked behind paywalls and institutional licenses. Interactive, browser-based simulations that work across devices (desktop, mobile, VR/AR) without signup barriers could transform how people understand and engage with advanced physics.

Show HN: Physically accurate black hole you can put in your room

We have a black hole at home — with actual relativistic physics, live in your browser. I'm Sasha (Alexander) Plavin, an astrophysicist at Harvard's Black Hole Initiative studying quasars and black hole environments. I work with raytracing/radiative transfer simulations professionally, and wanted to ...
