Does anyone know of any good webites that I can show my 5yr old, how the sun/moon day/night the world works?? I've tried to explain but it's a difficult concept to grasp and she wont take "ask me again in 3 years" as an answer!

(I hope i've put this under the right catagory!)

wel, as graph can show three dimensions in all. ie x-axis, y-axis and z-axis for lengths and breadths and all. Albert Einstein has proved 4th dimension as space-time. some theories say, there are infinite dimensions. If i try n think of some 5th dimension, if exists, i come with a option of energy as a 5th one.

so finally, if stephen hawking is there to listen, pls answer. All others are also invited to share this view.

andromeda galaxy, and really doesnt' like us at all.
they find us very annoying. they feel earth to be a cosmic
nuisance, a blip that must go bye bye. so should we then
appropriate $100 trillion and help defend the milky way galaxy?
for defense. the steering councils want to know how you
feel about this.

I'm curious about the 6 main stars in the Big Dipper. Is it possible that some of them are actually farther apart from eachother than they are from the Earth? I mean from here they all appear to be in the same general region of space, but our depth perception may be playing tricks on us. Maybe one of them is actually midway between Earth and another star of the Big Dipper. Or is that crazy?
