Science
Deep dives that build an idea from first principles: plain English, interactive diagrams, and nothing taken on faith. The kind of explainer that starts at the very bottom and climbs, one comprehensible step at a time, to something that feels like magic until you've seen how it's made — and, now and then, an evidence-driven look at what we actually know, and how we came to know it.

Where did we come from?
The oldest question answered in full — from the first living cell nearly four billion years ago, through complex cells, animals, primates and hominins, to Homo sapiens and the peopling of the world, and on to where our evolution might go next. Every claim linked to the hard-science evidence as it appears, and — only where the science genuinely concords — set beside the Genesis account. Built around a museum wall panel whose dates a decade of fossils and ancient DNA has quietly rewritten, with a grand deep-time timeline, a human-origins timeline, a dispersal map, an archaic-DNA chart, a “label versus latest” comparison and a fork of possible futures.

Computation from scratch
How a computer works, built from the ground up: from a single bit and a logic gate, through adders, memory and the CPU, to the stored-program machine and the limits of what can be computed. With a short history (Babbage, Lovelace, Turing, von Neumann, Knuth) and interactive widgets you can poke.
