      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.

    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.

      Except there is actual research on young people who are considered gifted early on in life. The vast majority make no significant contributions in life outside of the norm. 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.

Rather than asking Neil Tyson a question, David stated a whole hypothesis live on CNN that challenges one of the most debatable theories known to modern mankind... And which reason, because the current theory violates very the laws of physics on which it stands! David didn't quote a bible verse, he used science to refute science!

    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.
    So Dr. NDT inviting David to his podcast may encourage this prodigy to a successful path.

    He is already challenging existing theories. He could be anything he wants to be. What an incredible mind.

      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

      When everything was infinitely dense, the physics of the universe didn't exist/function the way they do now. The kid didn't consider this, hence his hypothesis can be immediately discredited.

      @@julianjulian2957 I never refuted that. I just think once he finds out, he’ll keep asking questions about it, and he’ll keep updating his hypothesis. Even now as it stand it can be disproven, so saying that as if there’s NO chance that it can right because of what you say just isn’t scientifically factual.

    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.
