Manim for science(bio and amalgamation of Manim chemistry and Phy-with-manim)?

[Chessing234]

Should we consider starting a repo similar to Manim, but purpose-built for science? Something like SANIM (Scientific Animation Engine).

It could either be a branch of Manim or a standalone project, with domain-specific tooling for:

• Genetics and biological systems (DNA, CRISPR, pathways, cells, etc.)
• Chemistry (molecules, reactions, orbitals, lab setups)
• Physics (instruments, experiments, fields, circuits, optics)
• Easy integration with projects like Manim Chemistry and future physics/biology extensions

The goal would be to make high-quality scientific visualizations much easier than building everything from scratch in Manim.

yes!

Have you started working on it?

Just a small comment: there was an old spin-off/include, manim-physics, which by itself already was too ambitious: one library for all of physics. I believe than planning one path for all of science is far too ambitious to ever come to anything relevant...

True, I'm also on the same page. I think it should start with a particular subject and slowly add new subjects.
