About · Physics Contest

## About Physics Contest Physics Contest is your destination for physics challenges that span every scale of the universe — from sub-atomic particles to the structure of galaxies, with everyday mechanics in between. ### What you'll find here Our [Resources library](/category/physics/) covers the full range of physics topics: - **Classical physics** — Newton's laws, energy conservation, the physics of everyday life - **Quantum mechanics** — accessible introductions to one of the strangest theories in science - **Relativity and cosmology** — space-time, black holes, the structure of the universe - **The history of physics** — from Aristotle's first physics to Einstein and modern theory - **Modern applications** — space exploration, particle physics, the experiments that turned theory into technology - **Phenomena explained** — the mind-boggling effects that physics actually predicts When you're ready to test what you've learned, our [Physics Activities](https://quantum.physicscontest.com/assets/activities/physics.html) turn passive reading into real understanding. ### Our approach Every article is written to two standards at once: rigorous enough that a serious student can rely on it, and plainly worded enough that a newcomer can finish it without a textbook beside them. We start each piece from first principles, walk through worked examples on real systems, and link back to related topics so you can follow the threads of physics wherever your curiosity leads. ### Get in touch Spotted an error?
