Abstract: Human beings leverage their capabilities of intuitive physics to predict the unfolding of physical events, gain a comprehensive understanding of complicated physics scenarios, and seamlessly interact with the tangible world. An intriguing question involving this realm is whether humans possess Intuitive Physics Engines (IPEs) to draw physical inferences. We delve into the neuroscience findings concerning the human brain, as well as the outcomes of psychophysical experiments simulating IPEs, aiming to assert that humans definitely employ their IPEs when comprehending and engaging with authentic physics scenes.
