What is radiation?

Radiation sounds terrifying, but sunlight is a form of it — the word just means energy travelling through space.

How it works

Three rules. No exceptions.

01

No jargon. Ever.

If a word wouldn't make sense to a 10-year-old, it gets swapped out for one that does.

02

Use real analogies.

Every hard idea gets connected to something you already know — pizza, Minecraft, whatever works.

03

Keep it honest.

Simple doesn't mean dumbed down. We never sacrifice accuracy — we just refuse to be confusing about it.
