Live interactive
The maintained version lives at the route linked here, with this garden note keeping the embed and editorial framing.
Best companion
Pair it with [[Cameras-and-Lenses]] when you want another invisible-physics explainer, or with [[Airfoil]] if you want a different kind of continuous-field intuition.
Time and level
About 12 to 18 minutes. Beginner friendly. Start with the particle-motion scenes before the synthesis-heavy parts.
