The children were told at school that the universe began with a big bang and that it is still expanding. They had all kinds of worries and questions about what was going to happen.

It was the family night, and the children were allowed to ask any questions they wanted to ask. Any question at all about anything, no exceptions. Everyone was allowed to have an opinion and explain their questions and their answers. What was asked and discussed would not leave the room without permission.

This evening's questions drifted toward wanting to know all about outer space and what the children heard in school and during TV specials.
