John Explains the Universe to Suki

In Suki I, a part-time pursuit of John's is tutoring Math and Science to college students.  I enjoyed doing that when I was in college and noticed more than a few people in their 30s, 40s, and older who enjoyed tutoring college and high school students.  In cinema and books, the writing arts seem to be more frequently represented by older mentors and tutors.

Suki has hired John as an Astronomy tutor, but she is long out of college, with a PhD in Robotics, a Masters in Bionics and an MS in Mathematics.

This passage from a recent Stephen Hawking article captures a bit if the instruction in Suki I, during their first tutoring session.  However, the couple sticks with science without launching into religion:

The tale of how the primordial universe of hydrogen, helium and a bit of lithium evolved to a universe harboring at least one world with intelligent life like us is a tale of many chapters. The forces of nature had to be such that heavier elements—especially carbon—could be produced from the primordial elements, and remain stable for at least billions of years. Those heavy elements were formed in the furnaces we call stars, so the forces first had to allow stars and galaxies to form. Those in turn grew from the seeds of tiny inhomogeneities in the early universe.
