“Paideia” (cf. Dr. Werner Yeager’s treatment on “Christian Paideia” and “Classical Greek Paideia”) was the classical education for the first century Christian Children which means, “to walk; walk; the walk”—-i.e., “the little *footers*”. One could use the Star Wars term, “Padua (same term as Paideia) ”, for “young ones learning “The Force”. We see this term in “Pediatrics” for medical care for the youth.

The Classical Greek Paideia was originally the classical education for the early Greek youth. The central Philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle comprised a large component of this Paideia. Language, Logic, and Rhetoric were the primers by which all further study into the sciences could ‘rationally’ be obtained. The language by which these primers functioned was a result of Platonic and Aristotelian reasoning and cultural bearing.

One could safely say that until the past century, especially at the point of understanding Einstein’s equation E=mc2 , “time” was relatively not understood. Moreover, the Universe was not understood as to how it worked. Spatiality was beheld by objects *relatable* such as “to the top of the mountain from here”, “where the land meets the ocean”, “the darkness created by the depth of an abyss”, “the unseen in the darkness of the waters”, etc.
