Alex and Cindy both had good points, but as Xenara hadn't been trained in those fields, her opinion was moot anyway, but she could see Alex's point of view. She had a sense that Alex a a bit disappointed in the Elaysian for trying to dodge the question, but in truth she couldn't even begin to think of examples other than what was taught in high school and the Academy. She had to take basic classes even at the Academy, but basic was a subjective term. She had to take Astronomy a few times before she was given a passing grade.
And she had to have her sister tutor her.
I wish Nemara was here. She'd give Alex a run for his money.
"Well," Xenara said, "I did say it was infinite and ever changing. And I also asserted that I never really had an affinity for science. But I see where you're going. I do know about the increasingly large number of theories about the universe. You would adore my father and sister. Word of warning though; get her talking about science and she'll forget basic bodily functions like eating and sleeping.
As to examples I remember three types of theoretical shapes the universe could have: Flat, which I never could wrap my head around, Spherical, which, again makes no real sense, and Hyperbolic, which I tend to subscribe to. I also think - actually my sister thinks that space and time aren't the separate entities but two halves of a whole. But, again, I have no real mind for science other than what I need to pilot a starship."
That gave Xenara an idea. More knowledge about astronomy would help her navigate better, then again, the computer would be able to tell her anything she needed about anything she encountered. Also she was worried whatever Alex taught her wouldn't sink in and he'd get frustrated to the point where he'd quit. But so far he had explained things with simple language and it was easy for her to absorb.
Already have a lot on my plate as it is. Best not to make it so heavy I can't carry it.
