Science is WEIRD

Lesson 1

How can you really know something?

This is the very first lesson of our 180-lesson Big Course! It's also two hours long. 

But along the way you'll learn about the flat Earth, the Scientific Revolution, Thales, the so-called "Scientific Method", and the real secret sauce that powers science... and could change your life.

This is a free preview.

Lesson 2

What's the solar system (really)?

This is the second lesson of our 180-lesson Big Course. Along the way you'll learn how many planets there really are, the actual divide between the two kinds of balls, and why the Moon doesn't fall into the Earth.

Oh! Also you'll learn something desperately important about boxes... that will forever after give you a clearer understanding of all scientific terminology.

Lesson 3

What can you see at night?

This is the third lesson of our 180-lesson Big Course. Along the way you'll learn the true shape of constellations, the way in which you're still probably seeing the world as a flat-Earther, and what the galaxy really is. 

Oh! Also you'll learn something desperately important about metaphors... that will forever after give you a clearer understanding of what "clearer understanding" actually means.

Lesson 4

What can you see at night if you turn away from the Milky Way?

This is the fourth lesson of our 180-lesson Big Course. Along the way you'll learn what those pretty cool "nebula" photos on computer backgrounds really are, how long the Milky Way has to live, and whether or not the Universe has an edge. 

Lesson 5

Where are all the aliens?

This is the fifth lesson of our 180-lesson Big Course. Along the way you'll learn what disturbed Enrico Fermi's lunch, a geeky, mathy way to estimate the number of alien civilizations, and what is truly one of the biggest mysteries of all of science.

Oh - you'll also learn what constitutes "strong evidence", and what doesn't.
