A Field Guide to Curiosity · Volume I
A small cabinet of interactive studies, built to make abstract ideas tangible. Each one isolates a single concept, hands you the controls, and lets curiosity do the rest. Drag a slider, fire a cannon, pour some liquid, flip a thousand coins.
↗
A thought experiment, brought to life. Adjust the launch velocity and watch the ball fall, orbit, or escape Earth's gravity entirely — the very idea that put satellites in the sky.
↗
Place the same object on different planets. The scale jumps wildly while mass holds steady — a quiet demonstration that one is a property of the object, the other a conversation with gravity.
↗
If you go up by 50% and then down by 50%, do you land where you started? Pour liquid between beakers and discover why the answer is not the one your gut insists upon.
↗
Flip ten coins. Then a hundred. Then a thousand. Watch the results drift toward — but rarely land exactly on — the expected 50/50. Probability, made patient and visible.
↗
Two shapes can share the same area while having wildly different perimeters — and the reverse. Draw on a grid, see the relationship laid bare, then experiment freely in the sandbox.
↗
The first letter can deceive you — but the first sound is what truly decides. Practice picking the right article and see why "an honest answer" and "a one-time deal" both make perfect sense.
↗
Pick the verb that fits, then watch where it actually connects. A visual way to untangle real subjects from the prepositional phrases hiding between them and the verb.
↗
An interactive atlas of India. Click any state to reveal its capital, climate, crops and the small facts that make a place itself. Scroll to zoom — the country rewards close looking.
↗
Encode messages with one of history's oldest ciphers. Then crack them open using letter frequency — the same technique cryptanalysts have leaned on for two thousand years.
↗
Two sliders, two very different kinds of quality loss. Watch pixels merge into blocks and smooth gradients collapse into bands as you push an image down toward its bare-minimum bones.
