## Simulating Nature

Simulations for science education have been around for decades. Traditionally, the coding skills required were just out of reach for beginning students. Not so anymore. Using elementary javascript, we can code basic to advanced sims that show interesting science without having to spend years learning software development. The skills learned are applicable to both physics and other coding rich fields.

Books are great. There's no denying that. However, so are motion graphics! We can make abstract science concepts visual by coding up simple simulations. Our forthcoming science.js library will make it easy for students and coders everywhere to build their own sims.

• ## Expanding Universe Demo

If you participated in a general astronomy class at any point in the last 30 years, it’s likely you were shown a classic demonstration of how in our expanding universe, there is no central point from which everything else is receding. In fact, no matter where you are, on earth,...
