THEME

Your task should you accept it is to craft a game that contains gameplay involving a scientific theory or law.

Your player(s) should be able to interact with the law/theories concepts in unique ways that affect the experience of the game.

The theory or law does not have to be the sole focus of your game, but it should have a noticeable presence.
Your theory does not have to be widely accepted or widely known feel free to seek out the obscure, or stick to something well known!
It's up to you!

Here is a helpful list of theorys to help you get started! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_physics#Mainstream_theories
