Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity

Say you woke up one day and your bed was gone. Your room, too. Gone. It’s all gone. You wake up in an inky void. Not even a star. Okay, yes, it’s a dumb idea, but just go with it. Now say you want to know if you move or not. Are you held fast in one spot? Or do you, say, list off to the left some? What I want to ask you is: Can you find out? Hell no. You can see that, sure. You don’t need me to tell you. To move, you have to move to or away from … well, from what? You’d have to say that you don’t even get to use a word like “move” when you are the only body in that void. Sure. Okay.
