* Billion Story Building in What-if. Most of the time, the questions are silly (but interesting) and from adults. This one is from a 4.5 year old girl and equally silly (but interesting). The heartwarming part is that he not only directly addresses the What-if to her, he words things to make more sense to a person with not as much life experience while still treating her and her question with respect. And to boot, while he says the basis of a her question is impossible, he suggests a more practical possibility and encourages her to explore the sciences because she may be the one to solve those problems.
