Learning, folded into little pockets.
Welcome to Dumplings, where I fold the things I’m learning into small notes: science music, poetry, books, art, and the little questions still simmering in my head. I write to understand things better, and share them in case they help someone else think through them too.

The world looks continuous because we are too large to see its smallest steps. Planck’s constant reveals those steps through , showing that light comes in tiny packets called photons.
