Post History

This site is not for five year olds.  We are not kindergarten teachers.

Asking a bunch of volunteers on the internet to explain physics to a five year old is a waste of time.  Explanations at that level are out there and widely available.

Imagine if we actually did answer appropriately for a five year old:

<b>Q:</b> What does F = mA mean?

<b>A:</b> The more you push, the faster it goes.

<b>Q:</b> Mommy, what is <i>relativity</i>?

<b>A:</b> It's about things that go really really fast, much faster than your bike or throwing a ball.  It doesn't matter here on Earth.  You'll learn more about this in college when you grow up.

This is not what we want our site to be cluttered with.
