Visual Learning
Learn advanced topics with simplicity.
Relativity, quantum physics and other hard ideas, explained by narrated animation you watch, not equations you decode. Math is optional.
The method
Why visual?
Watch it, do not decode it
Every idea is drawn as it happens, so you see why it is true before anyone asks you to prove it.
Every step narrated and drawn
A narrator walks through each step while the animation moves in time with the words.
Math optional
Understand first. Then go as deep as you like, with hands-on labs where you change the numbers yourself.

Special Relativity: Fit a 100 foot Train into an 80 foot Barn
A 100 ft train races through an 80 ft barn at 80% of light speed. The farmer says it fits; the passengers say it never does. See length contraction, time dilation and out-of-sync clocks, and how both sides can be right.

Questions
Do I need math?
No. Every lesson explains the idea with pictures and narration first. Where math helps, it comes after the picture and you can skip it.
What is free?
The first section of every lesson is free for everyone, no account needed (some lessons have more free sections). A subscription unlocks every section, the hands-on labs, the quizzes and your score history.
How do classrooms work?
A teacher creates a virtual classroom and adds students, or gives them a join code. Students need no email address. The teacher sees every student's progress and quiz scores in one grid.
Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
Do you track me or show ads?
No. The whole site has no advertising and no third-party tracking, for every visitor and every account.
What about student privacy?
Like every account, student accounts are never tracked and never see ads. On top of that, students need no email address, and the teacher who created a student's account controls it and can delete the student and all of their data.
