            The Theory of Relativity is an idea that numerous people have struggled with over time. Concepts such as the speed of light, inconsistency of matter, and the variability of time are abstract and hard to comprehend. However, when finally understood, the ideas are awe-inspiring and exciting in their implications. When I first understood at least part of this theory, it filled me with excitement and let me glimpse the future of how much we still have to learn. This artifact will be presented to show how learning and expanding is a joyful process. This is both from feeling ideas “click” and from the world of the undiscovered and unknown that opens up when something new is truly learned. This is so key because if a civilization loves learning and those “light bulb” moments, they will always be pursuing truth with enthusiasm and thus progress well. In addition, if they see how much there still is to learn, they will be motivated and excited to learn more.
