Real events, explained

When something in the news makes people ask "how did that work?", this is where the engineering gets worked through: the forces, the equations and the numbers, with interactive models you can change.

How these are written

Facts first, then the physics.

What was stated

Official figures and what reporters saw, with sources, kept separate from everything else.

What the physics says

The governing equations, worked through step by step so a student can follow and reuse them.

Labelled estimates

Where numbers weren't published, they're estimated from physics and marked clearly, with calculators to test other assumptions.

What's unknown

Each explainer ends with the open questions, so nothing is presented as more certain than it is.
