Stand in the room. Do the math.
Every story drops you into a real moment, with the same numbers the people there had. You make the prediction, run the instrument, and do the calculation that decided the day. The physics is the plot.
Stories
Every story is its own world: its own place, its own instruments, its own deciding calculation.
How every story plays
The same four moves, in this order, every time.
Before it happens
Make a call about what's about to happen. Your guesses lock until the end.
Their instruments
Simulations running the real equations with the real numbers from that day.
Their math
The equations arrive one step at a time, each tied to something you just did.
What really happened
Your predictions next to the record, and the deciding calculation done by you.
Every equation in your textbook was once a decision someone had to make in a real room.
Most history skips the math, and most math skips the history. What Happened puts them back together: the people in the room didn't have the answer in the back of the book. They had numbers, a deadline and a lot at stake.
Places, dates and numbers are real. Where a scene is simplified so you can play with it, the page says so.
