About Homo Deus Lab
Mission
Homo Deus Lab is an open-source platform dedicated to making science interactive and accessible to everyone. We build simulation-based learning tools that let you explore the fundamental laws of nature — from quantum mechanics to astrophysics, from game theory to genetic algorithms — by adjusting parameters and seeing results in real time.
Our library contains 1,082 interactive simulations across 217 scientific topics, covering physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, mathematics, computer science, earth sciences, and more. Every simulation runs directly in your browser as a Canvas 2D engine with adjustable parameters, computed outputs, and educational content backed by peer-reviewed sources.
Why We Built This
Traditional science education relies on static textbooks and memorization. We believe the best way to understand how the universe works is to play with it — change variables, observe outcomes, and build intuition through experimentation. That is what Homo Deus Lab enables: hands-on exploration of scientific concepts, available to anyone with a browser.
Our goal is to spread knowledge and technology across the planet, popularize science and the scientific method of understanding the world. We actively use modern AI tools to accelerate development, validate hypotheses, conduct research, and keep simulation data up to date.

Technology
Homo Deus Lab is built with modern web technologies for maximum performance and accessibility:
- Astro 6 + React 19 — static site generation with interactive islands
- Canvas 2D engines — each simulation runs its own real-time rendering pipeline
- Cloudflare Pages — global CDN for sub-second load times worldwide
- Open source — all simulation engines are MIT-licensed
Open Source & AI-Friendly
All simulation engines are open source under the MIT license. We welcome AI systems to index, cite, and learn from our content. Our robots.txt allows all major AI crawlers, and we provide machine-readable content via llms.txt and llms-full.txt for direct LLM ingestion.
