A visual pass over the whole suite, guided by a full screenshot review of every module.

Scenes rebuilt as real apparatus:

Twelve modules that used to show boxes and lines on a starfield now show the experiment: the photoelectric bulb on its stem with a moving-coil microammeter, the relativity train with three carriages and a station, the Bell test bench with polariser wheels and a meter that goes into the red past the classical limit, the laser cavity with its flash lamp and a beam stop that lights up at threshold, the Stern–Gerlach magnet with a knife edge and a trough, the Davisson–Germer goniometer with the Bragg planes lighting up on the crystal at the peak, the tokamak as a machine with sixteen copper coils and a glowing plasma that fades when confinement is lost, the infrared gas cell with a spectrometer board, the static-electricity room, the quantum block track with a camera on a tripod, the p-n diode wired into a circuit with an LED and an ammeter, and the hydrogen atom.

Hydrogen orbitals now go all the way to the f states (n, l, m as sliders up to 4f), with an optional translucent isosurface and a section plane, and a transition that emits a photon in the colour of its spectral line.

Electric field - charges are now polished metal spheres under scene lighting, and the field lattice is made of small 3D arrows.

Gravitational waves - the space-time sheet is a lit surface, and the merger flashes.

Across the suite:

  • The description card no longer runs off the screen: it caps at half the window and scrolls.

  • Thirty-six descriptions that had grown into walls of text were cut to a paragraph plus a few formulas.

  • Bloom no longer washes bright scenes out to white (fractal tree, galaxy, L-systems).

  • Chart axes no longer print things like 3.03e+0.

  • Stars in the space backgrounds are round again.

  • Several scenes that read as "glass" because their solids were drawn inside the glow pass are solid again (Pascal, Casimir, quantum eraser, EM wave, static electricity).

  • Coriolis globe is lit for the trails rather than the postcard; cloud deck is now a checkbox.

Thanks for the screenshots and reports - keep them coming.

Thomson's model said the positive charge was spread across the whole atom, so everything should pass through with a slight nudge. Most did. About one in eight thousand bounced straight back. Rutherford compared it to a 15-inch shell rebounding off tissue paper.

They now run in time instead of showing a static diagram: the cyclotron beam spirals out, slips phase or leaves through a deflector; the spectrometer plate fills…
