For instance, If I write a novel which has the following:

> “The universe goes through a gradual transition from one condition, to a different condition, without any abrupt changes.”
> 
> After reading the inscription, Maru closed her eyes, and tried to imagine that for while.
> 
> “Things in the universe are ever-changing. They have been undergoing a continuous change for billions and billions of years, and they will keep like this forever. What once was an plant or an animal will transform in something else in the future.” Icaro said.

In cases like this, should I simplify the words so that a 10 years old kid can understand the novel? Should I give practical examples? Or connect that idea to the characters?
