Possible reading material

A well-known scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits the sun and the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying: "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever." Said the old lady. "But its turtles all the way down!"
-Stephen Hawking, "A Brief History Of Time"

Funny. My dad told me that.
