Vision: Trace physics from quantum mechanics to cosmology
Timeline: 1-2 years (Phases 17-25+)
MistTracker is a sophisticated physics research platform designed to validate physics across multiple scales—from individual atoms through quantum mechanics to cosmology. Rather than asking "Is physics correct?", we ask: "Can all physics emerge from a unified framework?"
