Meet Carley
The first time physics blew my mind was in 8th grade. It wasn't something cosmic; it was realizing that the kinematic equations are mathematically linked, but this small hint of an interconnected story dominated my thoughts for weeks. Physics didn't always come easily, but when it clicked, it was rewarding and exciting and worth the effort; I enjoyed the sense of mathematical worldbuilding.
