6 - Prime Directive #2

Dr. Albert Einstein conceived of many things beyond common comprehension, but his starting premises were always simple. One premise that he held especially dear was that effects are not instantaneous. Any cause is separated from its effect by some passage of time, however small. Gravity, as described by Dr. Isaac Newton, violated this premise because it required Earth's pull on apples to be instantaneous. Einstein spent the greater part of his career proving that this was incorrect, his proof was called General Relativity.
