Where Does Gravity Come From?
Marianne called and relayed the following conversation between her and her son:
Marius: "Where does gravity come from?"
Marianne: "Uhm, I don't know. I will ask "me". She is a physicist, and they know these things."
Marius: "Physicists, are those the people who educate themselves to make Lego?"
Of course! We know everything and make Lego! How could anyone question that???
(But between us: How on earth do I explain what gravity is in terms a seven-year-old can understand and without lying or giving an unsatisfying answer?)
