Where philosophy runs out of words, science keeps going. Travel from the first second of time, across black holes and planets, to the inside of a single atom of you.
Press play and they run in order, from the first second of time to the inside of an atom. The facts and the full film list are below the screen. Each film ends with a pop quiz.
Fourteen short films, each with a pop quiz. Drag to look around while they play.
Numbers, evidence, extra facts and the people behind the film that is playing. It changes with every film.
Jump to any film. They play in order and each ends with a quiz.

The atoms in your body are 13.8 billion years old. Follow them two ways: from the Big Bang to you, or out beyond Earth to black holes, alien worlds and the end of everything. At every stop, look for one question: where were you?
28 illustrated books on five shelves. Every chapter has a living picture, and every book has a philosopher's page. Tap a cover to open it.
Twenty living pictures, drawn by code as you watch. Tap any one to open its illustrated book.
How these pictures are made. Nothing here is a photo or a video file. Every scene is drawn by code, live in your browser, from science data and maths, so it moves and changes every time you visit. Sizes and distances are squeezed so things fit on screen; the real numbers are in the tables. Where scientists still argue, the "Is it real?" meter says so.
I decide for you: quick for simple questions, deeper for hard ones.
