It seemed a difficult thing for everyone to wrap their head around who wasn't already aware of the space-age, but that was fine. Kirk didn't really expect them too, and he actually kind of enjoyed opening their minds or shocking them.

"Well, you see, the stars - they're like the sun. They produce light, but it takes that light a very, very long time to reach us here and let us see it. So they look small because they are very, very far away. Many, many years away if you were to travel by horse - or even fly like an eagle," he explained to him, ignoring trying to explain the concept of space-travel.

"And it might be," he nodded, deciding that the concept of other dimensions was also something to avoid for now. "It could be one we cannot see too. But I am sure it is out there."
