time.

The aspect of time I find most compelling is its mailability. I always assumed time was a beast of its own - just ticking along at the same rate without asking anyone’s say in the matter. But when Prof. Savit explained Einstein's Theory of Relativity in lecture I was suddenly thinking about the role I play in the passage of time. While it might seem like a stretch, the fact that an entity as seemingly concrete as time could shift with perspective made me think about the validity individuals' points of view. In the time piece by Radio Lab, Robert Crawwich spoke in scientific terms about how generally speaking we don't realize that our version is faster or slower than anyone else's.

It is easy to forget that everyone experiences the world in a different lens. Since I see things in such a specific way it is easy for me to dismiss the other perspectives. Realizing that everyone's view of the world is just as real to them as mine is to me, it is easier to empathize.
