My 4 year old is autistic and his special interest is space. We read a fun kids book about neutrinos the other day and he started asking me questions like “where do they come from”. Idk bro, I only have an arts degree. I wish he would ask easier questions ! I’m not a theoretical physicist

My daughter went through the “why” phase for a while when she was 3. I do my best to answer them because it’s a fun game. She’s trying to learn, and I’m here to teach her. At one point we got to the topic of our dog and she was like “Why is he a dog” That one stumped me for a while before I hit her with “because his parents are dogs”. And then she went right for the “who are his parents” and that spun off into questions about dog breeding and how they used to all be wild wolves… It’s fun.

The floor can because of gravity. What’s gravity? It is what causes everything to fall down. Why does it do that? Because everything weighs something, and the more something weighs, the more it causes other things to be drawn towards it. Why does that happen? It’s the way the universe is made. If it weren’t for that, the world wouldn’t exist. Why wouldn’t the world exist without gravity? Because without gravity, nothing would stick together. What is nothing? Nothing is what you see when you close your eyes, but you’re not there to look at it. Side note, i’m honestly looking forward to having kids. I cannot wait to have an inquisitive child asking me questions that I could have never thought of myself.
