You probably grew up with the idea that history moves in a straight line: people in the past were primitive, and you live at the peak of human progress.

Gravity Waves Prove Einstein’s Theories Were Right All Along

Sameen David

You probably grew up hearing that Einstein was a genius, but it can feel distant and abstract, like a legend from an old textbook.

You have probably grown up with the quiet assumption that matter comes first and mind comes later. Stars form, planets cool, chemistry gets complicated, life appears, brains evolve, and at the very end of this long chain, consciousness flickers on like a light in a finished house.
