Wonder & Time — Play

← Brief

Clocks Don’t Agree

Inspired by The Order of Time — Carlo Rovelli

Lift a clock in a gravitational field and it ticks a bit faster. Raise Clock B and see the drift accrue as microseconds per hour.

Try it: Lift the clock. Watch time drift.

History Matters

Inspired by Time Reborn — Lee Smolin

If laws can evolve, novelty belongs at the center. This automaton slowly changes its own rule as you scrub time—so the future isn’t just repetition.

Try it: Scrub time. Watch rules learn.

Many Clocks, Many Cities

Inspired by Einstein’s Dreams — Alan Lightman

Lightman’s fables turn relativity into feeling. Tap different “city rules” to see how life changes if time sticks, loops, or slips away as you hesitate.

Try it: Tap a world. Feel its rules.

Approach the Horizon

Inspired by Black Hole Survival Guide — Janna Levin

Near the edge, space and time twist. Outside observers see your clock crawl as you skim the horizon. Inside, your watch feels normal—until it doesn’t.

Try it: Drag the ship. Meet the horizon.

Choose Your Ending

Inspired by The End of Everything — Katie Mack

Four plausible finales; each sharpens what matters now. Tap to see how a particle field’s fate changes the “arrow” we feel.

Try it: Pick a finale. Read the why.
