You can tell the child and the parents are both very well educated. The question he just asked at the end of the interview was amazing and will probably be a great way to introduce different forms of matter that will change the way we look at the universe. His premise is very strong.

The reason the father answered for his son David at 6:13 to thank Neil DeGrasse Tyson is because Dad knows his son's patterns. Once the hosts insisted on hearing David's view on meeting Neil, David took the convo into another direction (The "Big Bang" Theory)--something Dad already knew was going to happen. This proved once again that parents tend to know their children better than most other people ever will.

From what I'm getting, he's refuting the idea that energy cannot be created or destroyed. The problem with that is the fact that scientists believe the universe is constantly expanding. And in order to do that you have to create new matter which requires energy. HOW would you create new matter if energy cannot be created? When you think about it, he's actually right.

This world doesn’t want you to succeed sometimes. He came out of the womb EYES WIDE OPEN. He knows what he needs to do. His parents did a fantastic job.
Neat. I'm so proud to see and hear you as parents said positive things to your son, and didn't smoother his learning when he asked questions, of what some call "the terrible twos" of discovering, by asking questions on top of question, being inquisitive/ inquiring to know.

By 25 they are no further along than their peers but many are severely psychologically damaged as they did not get to be children and were thrust into adulthood left needlessly. I hold three degrees including a doctorate and I could not imagine anything worst than a 9 year old sitting in a college classroom and being in that environment vs with other 9 year olds as education is not limited to books.

Dr. NDT is a real educator & mentor. He goes to where the students are thinking & let them explore their universe. He told a similar story about when he was in high school & had an interest in Astrophysics. One day he met Carl Sagan his idol, a famous Astrophysicist who had a TV Series "Cosmos", who invited NDT to visit him at Cornell University . The rest is history.

@@yvonneplant9434 we don't know. He might not be thinking too much about spiritual matters at this point in his life. Of course we don't even know that. All we know is what we saw in a short clip of people who have "prepared faces to meet the faces that they meet" as TS Eliot might have put it if he were to paraphrase his own writing. What these people are presenting in this media appearance and what they present in their private lives when the public isn't observing might be two entirely different things. It often is that way.

@@evanroth2805 I agree that David Balogun's response may show a lack of empathy in that he couldn't identify with why his mom saw graduation at 9 as unusual. But that same quality may be humbleness in that he may be presuming that anyone could do it. No need to pile on; many police will be more than happy to do that for you.

When you foster what is firm and right like good behavior with education(paying attention because it's the right approach to and for your children) you most times get a child like David. Praises to these parents and their extra ordinary child.
Beautiful little soul, please protect this child at all times!!!!
Proud parents. A proud Nigerian Dad and most especially, David has a very bright future ahead of him if he is properly nurtured.

Omo Naija, how we go again; God Bless Nigeria. Great parenting. Thank you, dad and mum.
I love how Dr. Tyson is encouraging this amazing young man. When Dr. Tyson was a 17 year old student, he was encouraged to become a physicist by Dr. Carl Sagan and his wife Ann Druyan, and was invited to their house for dinner. It's wonderful how these scientists are passing on their enthusiasm and excitement about learning and discovery to each new generation.

challenging existing theories is easy. Anybody can do it. Religion does it all the time. The problem is the scientific evidence. Time and time again, geniuses' children come and bring up the challenges, but until now, none prevail. there's a difference between a good idea and arrogance. This kid finished high school, but he's yet to learn more about scientific knowledge. He should bring up his "challenge" when he learns all the published scientific papers. And there are literally tens of thousands of them. Even if he just read it without learning it, he will need at least 5 years just to finish reading it
