Title of Theme: Quantum Universe (Expanding Universe, General Relativity)

Short Description: According to the quantum theory “expanding universe, general relativity”, it states that the universe is constantly expanding. And as it expands, the distance between each planets/galaxies expand too. The common misconception that people have is that the universe expands so far out that it explodes. However, the fact is that whilst the universe expands, the space expands as well. Applying this into figure-of-speech, a common analogy would involve a balloon with specks of dots surrounding it. As the balloon inflates, the distance between the specks of dots increases as well. This is a wrong analogy as the galaxies do not expand like the dots do when a balloon expands. The distance between galaxies grow.

Hence, I came up with this idea of representing the universe as a whole pancake where galaxies are symbolised by humans and the different in sizes of space are visualised through different-sized pans. With the use of figure-of-speech like analogies and allegories, I represented the Quantum Theory “Expanding Universe, General Relativity” through juxtapositions and a quirky simplistic style.
