How Theoria works

What changed
people’s minds?

What did people believe before a discovery? What no longer fit? What did the evidence show?

Follow scientists and inventors as they work through a question. See the earlier explanations, the failed attempts, and the evidence that led to something new.

  1. The earlier explanation

    What did people believe at the time?

  2. The unanswered question

    Which observation did not fit?

  3. The evidence

    What supported the idea? What proved it wrong?

  4. What changed

    See what the new explanation resolved, and which questions stayed open.

Explore a moment in history on the World globe. Compare that moment across cultures in Loom. Investigate a scientific question in Studio.

Put the pieces together

See how
ideas connect.

Place an idea in its time. Compare it with other explanations. Look closely at the details, then see how they fit into the wider subject.

Predict what will happen, investigate, and explain the result. Practice helps you remember. Following the reasoning helps you understand.

Two parents, three kids,
and plenty of questions.

We’re a husband and wife building Theoria with our three children. We fund it ourselves, and the questions we ask as a family help shape the app.
