About 1000 Whys
What is 1000 Whys?
A small project that answers one everyday "why" at a time, about your body, nature and animals. Each answer comes as a short video and a page with a short answer, a longer explanation and a quick quiz.
How often is there a new why?
Every day. A new short comes out on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, and its full answer shows up here.
Where do the answers come from?
From trusted sources like science museums, zoos, universities and research papers. Every question page lists its sources at the bottom.
Is it for kids?
It is for curious people of any age. The answers are written in plain English, so they work for families and classrooms too.
Can I suggest a question?
Yes, please do. Send it through the contact page, and it may become one of the next whys.
