Biography
Alex Morgan writes and edits everything published on Physics Arcade, from the game pages to the long-form guides. The focus is always the same: explain what a game is actually simulating, in language that does not require a physics degree, and be honest about where an arcade game departs from the real thing.
Alex Morgan is the editorial voice of Physics Arcade, covering browser games, game mechanics and the physics that makes them work. Everything published here — the game pages, the guides, the policy pages — is written and edited under this byline, so there is one consistent standard across the site and one place to direct a correction.

Approach
Three principles govern everything on this site.
- Explain the relationship before the formula. Most readers do not need an equation; they need to know what happens when you double something. The equation is there for the readers who do want it.
- Use the games as worked examples. A mechanic you have felt is far easier to reason about than one you have only read about, which is why every guide links to games that demonstrate what it describes.
- Say where the model stops. Arcade physics is tuned for playability. Pretending otherwise would teach readers something false, so every guide is explicit about its simplifications.
