Naïve physics [7], or folk physics, is our ability to understand physical phenomena. We regularly use this ability in life to avoid collisions in traffic, follow a tennis ball and time the return shot, or while working in dynamic industrial settings. Though this skill improves with practice, it is still imperfect, which leads to mistakes and misjudgments for time intensive tasks. People still often miss a tennis shot, which might cause them to lose the match, or fail to avoid a car or pedestrian, which can lead to injury or even death.
