Meh?

Sitting up straight rather quickly and taking a deep breathe, the Slytherin blinked several times before looking over at Marie. Class started?

Eh. Nodding her head, she took out her notebook and quill before focusing on what the Professor was saying. Something about this person named Albert right?

He paused briefly, for effect. "It forced us to get rid of concepts such as absolute time and space, and as such, relativity seems very counter-intuitive. Perhaps that's why it took us so long to figure it out. And we will talk about this in a little while, but first we need to figure out what the prevailing view of the Universe up to that time was. I already mentioned the ideas of absolute time and space. Can anyone guess what those are? Let's take space first. What do you think 'absolute space' could mean?"

Taking Astronomy class so early in the morning, was not a good idea. She was beginning to think that having skipped the last one was a rather good idea. Why did she come to this one again?

Hearing the other answers, she definitely could not process that in her mind. Gah, Astronomy was a hard class. "So...Absolute space isn't just space itself?" she asked, trying to make things clear in her mind. It was definitely harder to do then what she expected.

Gotta wake up! Wait, so what does absolute mean? Meh? Glancing over to some other girl who spoke up, the Slytherin sighed and closed her mouth. Well, that was one way of putting it she supposed.
