"With the caveat that some dimensions can be odd..." he adds. "The ones with gravity have stars at the center, with the planets orbiting. The Sun is the most massive object in our solar system, so it holds everything else in that system in place - more or less."
Perusing Dan. He doesn't seem like he comes from a dimension with different fundamental physical forces to their own. Oh.
"You've... never seen a chart?"
He reaches up to grab the poinsettias. Dan's never seen a chart, has he? Or been to a Planetarium? But he has access to the internet? This fact was taken so for granted that he's not sure what to make of it.
