+Imagine: It's 1915, and you've made one of the greatest discoveries in hundreds of years. You visit your mother and show her your work:
+$$R_{\mu v}-\frac{1}{2}Rg_{\mu v} = 8 \pi T_{\mu v}$$
+'That's nice dear', she responds, unaware of the implications of your discovery.
+The problem, is that although this equation carries with it the secrets of gravity, to a layman it is merely a bunch of letters.
+Now, consider this single image.
+Instantly, the meaning becomes clear. Gravity warps space(time), and matter, planets, and even light follows the curved path.
+Fundamental physics is an unknown world to most people. Equations, symbols, and incomprehensible terms abound, and unless you've studied post-grad mathematics and physics, this world is inaccessible to you.
+Although there are several great resources to map the way toward complete understanding. Most people will not undertake the journey to understand the source code to the world that we all inhabit.
 == The Assignment ==
 There are 3 different pieces of the puzzle that Eric Weinstein pointed to during a call on Discord: graph, wall and tome. Please hold on to this information, that is they’re not public yet, until they come up in a dedicated future episode on The Portal. In the meantime, feel free to try to figure out how they fit together and what you can do with them in order to understand reality. Also, trying to answer the questions at the end helps you get started.
