You focus on what looks like a bright star with a tiny blemish. You adjust your telescope, and in a breath of realization, you find that it’s not a star at all, but Jupiter, distant yet luminous. You wonder about the long journey of each photon, reflected from Jupiter’s cloud tops, crossing the cosmic sea to meet your gaze. The answer is something we have never known in classical Newton’s equations. It lies in Einstein’s general relativity. Jupiter large mass causes a curvature in a geometrical shape known as the Curvature of space-time, bending the path those photons follow, so that without you even noticing, Jupiter is subtly changing not just your view of the universe, but also the moment in time you’re experiencing.
Read the newest article "The Invisible Threads: Weaving Time, Space and Destiny", and learn how even space itself curves and bends for our bright stars!

You're a bored physicist, playing with a friend, throwing marbles through two windows, and then all of a sudden a marble you tossed passes through two the two windows at the same time. You blink a lot, and start overthinking things, "Quantum mechanics just worked on a large object! The double-slit experiment, it is true even for large objects. This changes everything! Everything we know about physics, it has collapsed.". But your friend laughs, much to your confusion, and then you realize: He just through another marble with you, physics is still safe and intact.
You laugh, and then begin to entertain these thoughts you had, "How can one collapse the Quantum theory, and change everything humanity knows about physics?" Want to learn more?

Read our newest article, "Yet another Quantum Mechanics article—with a twist!", where you'll learn how to collapse physics yourself!

Last year, one of our COMPASS students, Adam Shaaban, explored the 3D Ising Model and examined how its properties vary with temperature.

This is the kind of research COMPASS participants get to work on.

Applications for the 2025 COMPASS cohort are now open! The program is designed for Egyptian high school students in grades 10–12 who are interested in tackling physics problems through computational methods.

It’s a bustling afternoon, and just like any normal day, you notice the world around you is alive with unseen forces. One moment, your phone buzzes with an incoming message, resting silently on the table, yet creating a distinct tremor. Not just that, as you listen to your favorite song, the bass vibrates through your chest, a tangible presence from an invisible source. Careless as you might be, taking it as a trivial matter, your body isn’t joking about it. In that instant, your ears and skin were tuned into a symphony of pressure and rarefaction, a delicate ballet of particles that carried information and energy. This, my friend, is what we call "sound".

IPhR Ambassadors Program is now open for registration!

We are pleased to announce the return of our Ambassador Program, an opportunity for you to demonstrate leadership, develop communication skills, and share your enthusiasm for physics. As an ambassador, you will help promote IPhR on a global scale while gaining meaningful experience.

The top ambassador will receive a Wolfram|One subscription valued at $1,600, a powerful tool for physics research. The second and third ambassadors will each receive Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) coupons.

Register for IPhR Ambassadors: https://iphr.octphysicsclub.org/register/ambassador

Mohamed Abdelghani, one of our students in last year’s COMPASS program, studied the three-body problem and extended it by introducing a fourth body, using a figure-8 configuration.

This project is just one example of the kind of research COMPASS students work on.

Applications for the 2025 COMPASS cohort are now open. The program is open to Egyptian high school students in grades 10 to 12, and focuses on solving physics problems using computational methods.
