Abstract: This paper conducts a comprehensive review of key research within the domain of intuitive physics. While the existence of a human "physics engine" remains unproven, we explore the tantalizing possibility of its presence in the human mind. Our analysis primarily revolves around two core features of such an engine: its generality and its potential reliance on probabilistic reasoning. At last, we present our perspective on the merits of integrating a physics engine within artificial intelligence agents. This discussion advocates for further investigation into the potential advantages of incorporating such engines into AI systems, notwithstanding the ongoing debate surrounding the existence of a human-like physics engine.
