Horizon v6

Ten interactive deep-dives into things most people never encounter. Each page is a different world, a different visual language, a different kind of mind-opening.

Signal Processing / Neuroscience
Stochastic Resonance

Noise can actually help weak signals become detectable. Your brain uses random neural noise to hear whispers. Explore this counterintuitive phenomenon with a live signal-in-noise demo.

"The universe's static is not always static."

Computer Vision / Linear Algebra
Eigenfaces

How computers "see" faces using pure mathematics. Principal component analysis reveals that all human faces are combinations of ~150 ghost-faces. Blend them yourself.

"Your face is just a recipe, not a portrait."

Economics / Energy Policy
Jevons Paradox

When efficiency improvements cause more consumption, not less. Steam engines made coal so efficient that coal use exploded. Track the rebound effect across two centuries.

"Green technology doesn't always mean less use."

Neuroscience / Somatosensory
Phantom Limb Cartography

The brain's body map is plastic, wrong, and sometimes hilarious. Click the homunculus to explore where your brain thinks your body actually is.

"Your body image is a construction, not a measurement."

Astrobiology / Cosmology
Lithopanspermia

Life may travel between planets on rocks blasted by asteroid impacts. Watch rocks trajectory between Mars, Earth, and beyond in an animated solar system.

"We may all be Martians."

Thermodynamics / Fluid Dynamics
Leidenfrost Effect

A droplet of water on a hot enough surface floats and survives far longer than on a warm surface. Use the heat dial to see droplet behavior phases.

"Extreme heat can protect rather than destroy."

Neuroscience / Synaptic Plasticity
Hebbian Learning

"Neurons that fire together wire together." The actual mechanism of how memory works at the cellular level. Build neural pathways with your clicks.

"Your brain rewires itself with every thought."

Physics / Flow Systems
Constructal Law

Adrian Bejan's theory that all flow systems evolve toward the same geometric form. Generate rivers, lungs, lightning, and cities with the same branching algorithm.

"One law governs everything that flows."

Neuroscience / Time Perception
Dyschronometria

The brain's broken clock. Why time speeds up as you age, why pain makes time crawl, why near-death experiences last "forever." Test your perception.

"Time is not a river — it's a construction."

Acoustics / Physics
Chladni Figures

Sprinkle sand on a metal plate and draw a bow across the edge. The sand forms perfect geometric patterns — sound made visible. Adjust frequency to see patterns emerge.

"The hidden geometry of vibration."
