Oh dear. I thought I given my four year old nephew a fairly good explanation of weightlessness and what would happen to his playmen if they went on a real rocket.
However, he now insistently tells his mum that “People all fly about until they find some gravity to land on.”
Perhaps I need to work on my communication skills!
That’s pretty close to the ‘rubber sheet’ analogy! Not bad for a four year old.
I didn’t think of it like that, he is clearly more advanced than I thought!
He was also telling me not to get too close to the plug sockets as electricity might drip out…
HAHAH! Fantastic.
Apparently when I was about his age I asked my (long-suffering) parents how the electricity got into the wires.
We have the electricity comment on video, I’m keeping it for when he’s a Nobel prize winner :)
