There are big things and small things in our world, and they work in different ways. In the Big World are all the things that you can see around you, so these are the things we learn about first. Even as a baby, you begin to notice that some things are big and heavy and you have to try harder to push or lift them. You learn that if you are holding something up and let go, it will fall to the floor. We all grow up seeing and learning these things; we begin to think that everything is logical and natural and that we understand how things work in our world. These Big World observations are part of what scientists call “Newtonian Physics.”

However, there is also the Small World, which has things that are too small for us to see.
