Wait But Why - New post AND a new toy

You know how sometimes you get a new toy and you like the toy and it makes you happy? Well a few months ago, we teamed up with the YouTube channel Kurzgesagt with one goal: make a toy that will make Tim happy.

No one else knew this was the goal—they all thought we were aiming to build something that could educate and delight people. But for me, it was all a front.

Anyway, now I have my toy and I’m very happy about it, and you can have the toy too, and I think it’ll make you happy too.

I explain the whole thing in a new post about the unimaginable bigness and smallness of everything.
 
Enjoy!

Tim

P.S. If you’re anxious to see the toy now, here it is: iOS, Android
