In the last week, two of my kids have each asked questions that made me stop in my tracks because I didn't quite know how to answer them authoritatively, so any one sentence answers you readers ca provide to the following (apart from "shutup, and stop asking so many questions") would be appreciated:
"Daddy, what are we all made of?"
"Daddy, does space go on forever?"
Thanks.

Space doesn't go on forever, but we can never run out. You see, tiny amounts of new space are being created all the time. It started soooo long ago, though, that no matter how fast you go, you can never get to the end. Some day, faaar in the future, there will be so much space that someone who looks up with see only our galaxy and the rest of it will be so far away that the rest of the stars won't shine anymore!
