Big questions, simply drawn.
MightBeTrue turns the science you've always wondered about into short, hand-drawn explainers — clear enough to follow, fun enough to finish.

A physicist became obsessed with one of biology's oldest mysteries — why living things age and die. His answer came from the laws of physics themselves, and it cost him everything. We follow the theory from thermodynamics to the biology of time, and the man who refused to stop asking why.
The numbers you thought you understood — until you actually look at them. Each episode takes one mind-bending number and follows it to the edge of what math can explain.
3.14159… Why does pi go on forever, and what does it actually mean for a number to never end? We follow the digits into the strange truth about irrational numbers.

Not all infinities are equal. Some are provably, mathematically larger than others — and the proof is one of the most elegant ideas in all of mathematics.

Primes follow no formula, obey no pattern, and refuse every shortcut. After thousands of years of trying, nobody can tell you where the next one will appear.

Premiere
Even in a universe that follows rules, the future resists prediction. Tiny differences in starting conditions spiral into completely different outcomes — and no amount of computing power fixes that.

There are problems that no computer — no matter how fast or clever — can ever solve. Not because we haven't tried. Because it's been mathematically proven impossible.

Pick any number. Follow two simple rules. You'll always end up at 1 — or at least, nobody has ever found a number that doesn't. But nobody can prove it either. Welcome to the Collatz conjecture.
Coming soonMightBeTrue started with a simple idea: the most fascinating things in science get buried under complicated words. So we draw them instead — stick figures, scribbled brains, and all.
Every video takes a question worth being curious about and answers it in a few honest, well-researched minutes. No hype, no filler. Just the good part.
