Like the UI a lot. Very interested to know what kind of user base you currently have and what use cases you've built it for.

Looks very cool, is it open source?

This statement is misguided. A lot of physical phenomena doesn't lend itself to intuitive understanding. Quantum Mechanics is a great example of this. You cannot expect subatomic particles to behave the same way that macroscopic objects do (and macroscopic behavior is what humans find intuitive because we experience it on a day to day basis).
Its the same misguided thinking that leads to the popular PopSci explanation of electron behavior being both wave and particle like. Why should we try to categorize the behavior a subatomic particle (an entity so distant from our experiential reality) as being analogous to one of two macroscopic entities?
I totally get the desire for intuitive understanding, and it should be encouraged, but sometimes you just have to put intuition aside and come to conclusions with pure mathematical reasoning.
