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.
A short one: 9 levels across 2 sections, about 18 minutes end to end, roughly 4 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Breaking the Rules of Reality and The Invisible Threads of the Universe. It starts from scratch.

Key ideas in The Weird World of Quantum Physics
- Quantum particles exist in a 'superposition' of many possible locations at once
- Randomness is built into the fabric of the universe at the quantum scale
- A single fixed position only exists at the moment of measurement
- Even with perfect data, nature only provides the odds of an outcome
- The particle is not 'hidden' in one spot; it is genuinely spread out
- Quantum outcomes are fundamentally unpredictable, not just complex
- The concept that particles exist in multiple places at once until measured
- Whether probability is a limitation of our tools or a law of nature
- Measurement is an active physical intervention
- You cannot look at a quantum object without bumping into it
- Quantum particles exist in a superposition
- Interacting with a system collapses its possibilities
- Quantum objects travel like waves but land like points
- Randomness is built into the fabric of the universe
- Distinguishing between particle-like and wave-like behaviors
- A particle exists in all possible states simultaneously
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.
Here's what playing it feels like
