In tech class today, we are learning about circuits. Circuits are closed loops that carry electricity. Currents are the flow of electrons in those circuits, and these electrons are “lazy”. When given a path (a circuit), electrons will have no choice but to follow it. However, when given a shorter path, electrons will jump at the opportunity. In fact, they’ll go so fast that you’ll burn yourself and ruin your battery. This is called a short circuit. Voltages are the push that makes a current flow. The more volts you have, the stronger your flow is.

Something I find very interesting about the world is light. Light years, the speed of light, how it all works. When we were covering it in class relating to the universe, atoms, and things like that, I was amazed at the fact that our universe is so vast that it takes over 200 trillion miles for light to get one place to another. For example, if you were to look at earth from the other side of the galaxy, you’d be seeing how it was 120,000 years before in the past, back when dinosaurs still existed.
