Web · Learning world in the browser

Everything is connected to everything.

Why does your blood need iron? Why does ice float? Boundless Knowledge shows how things connect: from stars to your body, from music to mathematics.

01 / The idea

Knowledge as a web.

An encyclopedia explains terms one at a time. Boundless Knowledge explains the links between them. Every term appears once, every relation has an explanation and a source. You start with one question and 3 steps later you are in a different subject.

You enter through 16 worlds, from mathematics to the body and music to cultures and myths. Two of them lead straight on: space to Boundless Expanse, the ocean to Boundless Deep.
