Welcome to Heikegani, a website that hopes to inspire thought and encourage inquisition of the universe in which we happen to find ourselves.
We are not experts, and while some of the curated videos on these pages contain ideas at the cutting edge of science, cosmology, and quantum physics, it is not essential to understand the minute details to grasp the big ideas. You do not need to play the violin to be able to appreciate the orchestra.
We hope you enjoy your visit and leave a more curious person.
