- 9-year-old David Balogun is one step closer to achieving his dream of becoming an astrophysicist after obtaining his high school diploma. He and his family join "CNN This Morning" and he gets to chat with Neil deGrasse Tyson. #CNN #News
The father spoke for his son to give his son time to process his answer. That's excellent parenting.
I totally peeped that too. After all, he’s still a kid. As intelligent as he might be for his age, he’ll still has to develop socially.
That's not excellent parenting...he's 9...they know their son's lack of communication skills...
He may be "genius"...
but what is that ???
No shows his , son used the computer, and anyone with half a brain could have done the EXACT same thing if they tried. Especially, with todays Dumb down school system.
Don't agree that is good parenting. If his father keeps interjecting for his son how will he be able to develop good communication skills. This boy already shows poor articulation.
@@telopa1 You sound like a jealous B***H! 😂😂 Get well soon!
This father said ‘I never told him shut up or go sit down’ 👏🏼 this is what happens when we take the time to genuinely raise our children with respect and complete attention to their questions and observations. Bravo parents bravo!
Yep when the mind is left alone intelligent design will manifest wonders !! Unfortunately we live in a world that lives to suppress what it is unfamiliar with. They are better known as Dream Chasers no disrespect to Meek Mill
You do know not every child is an EXACT duplicate of young David there, right? Just saying.
@@phyerboss True. His dad never told him to leave him alone while he killed a six pack.
You must be unemployed.
@@mikemondano3624 actually im an employer why you need some work i could use a little help ?
That child's eyes are like nothing I've ever seen. Behind them are secrets to the universe that we have not seen. Blessings upon him always.
I really wanted the kid to finish what he was saying… he could be right. The world is literally at our fingertips
My oldest brother was valedictorian in high school and In His final speech he surprised everyone with saying that he was going to be the best garbage man anyone has ever met 😂 he actually turned out to be a city sewage engineer so that wasn't too far from it.
Lol. Reminds me of a cousin. He is considered a genius and was offered scholarships to plenty of the top institutions in America, and some school in London. Long story short, he ended up joining the Navy, now he's a high ranking intelligence officer and he gets to the tell same joke with seriousness "If I tell you, I may have to kill you" 🤣
@@mrman8856 A great, another pawn for evil US corporations and MIC.
@jimmytimmy3680 Hey man, I feel great knowing he's helping patrol the oceans of the world and keeping me safe at night.
😀
😆
The smile that shined when he was told Neil DeGrasse Tyson wanted to talk with him almost made me cry. It was PURE joy. Stay curious David.
this deGrasse character has been in trouble for raping women
And you have him on tv talking to kids? sick american deviants
Yeah ! I noticed that too !
Uniqueness _interest in curiosity 😳all of this grammer for ..
Yes I observe that too
heart warming
Am I the only one who wanted to hear more about David's theory about the beginning of the universe??? I"m all excited to hear more! That theory sounds amazing
They made sure to shut it down before he got to say it.
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.
@@reactking7093 that's what got my attention. I always thought the same thing and i have a theory about where this extra energy is really coming from. I was hoping to hear if he had the same thoughts
I was upset when they cut that child off. When he makes history later that network will regret not getting the whole theory.
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.
Nigeria 🇳🇬 is proud of you the Balogun Family. Well done David 🥰....Go do yourself, family and country proud.
Hands off, he's ours. He's an American 🇺🇲 💪🏽🇺🇲
I was wondering about his father's heritage. He has a foreign accent.
@@amerikano6302 yeah just like all the folks who were born overseas and made America. You should ask what their values are.
@@amerikano6302 he is Nigerian
@@c.f.okonta8815 Yes, literally he's from Nigeria, but figuratively he's now one of us. Soon, he'll be one of us literally and figuratively ... and ours for good. Deal with it 😂
Just messing with you guys 😂😂😂 ... all love to the super vibrant Nigerians ❤
I'm 65 and don't even know what an astrophysicist does. Good luck to this young man. Reach for the stars, dude!
Reaching for the stars is what astrophysicists do :D
@@sprite9849 lmao
They do things related to matter and earth science and the big bang.
Sad that the commentator is trying to get him to play basketball and "be a kid". He is not a kid he grew up years ago. I would have liked to have heard him finish what he was saying
Learning and understanding about what every thing is is what astrophysicists do
My daughter went to college at the age of 11 and became assistant to the Professor in chemistry one year later. My advice is: Stay invisible. Early fame can be harmful to your child. Happiness is still the most important thing in life. Now that you are sure he will be financially secure, make sure that he will develop harmoniously while enjoying the only childhood that he has. I am happy for you, and good luck to all of you.
11 y old is ridiculous. Even IF their brain is more advanced earlier - which is what it is - it’s almost tantamount to child abuse
@@ace8184 Why can't you just accept the fact that that child is a genius?
I hate media segments! Didn't even let David finish his thought.😢
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.
That is true Emile, I think that this was the chance for David to have a conversation with someone with whom he can talk on a level that he can understand, and non-other then Neil Degrasse Tyson, I am wondering if in high school could he have those type of conversations with students or teachers alone rather than someone who is up at that level, just curious.
Agreed
Overstand the young man's father tried to circumvent his son's theory because it's correct and challenges the adult's feeble understanding of reality which threatens their false sense of comfort in the lies the system propagates.
He's right the old science paradigm is wrong the big bang theory is simply that a theory.
His dad is one of the weirdest looking humanoids I've ever seen
@777dbcoonassmetal6 yeah, your the guy he should be raking parenting tips from....🙄😂
What a shining example of why education is so important. There is NOTHING this young man can't achieve. Bravo to Neal for acknowledging this young man. He made his day.

He's a prodigy child. His parents have done an impeccable job on raising and educateding
him at an early age. He's an extraordinary special child. This young man is confident within himself. He's a go getter and he knows what he wants.
Child prodigies are myths generally.
Yes he is a blessed child and maybe his intelligence will help us cure something create something new etc
His parents did a great job helping him to block out the chaotic background disturbance that this world puts us all through constantly so that he could focus on whats important. 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.
This kid was about tell us something extremely important about his hypothesis on matter. Ughh I wish they could have gotten a longer interview approved!! I'm looking forward to this kids future already. Blessings to his family and parents. I pray he reaches all his dreams and be protected from the wolves in sheep clothing ❤️
AMEN to that... only God alone will make it safer for this boy than it was for the man who invented the car that ran on water especially as he is already disproving the theory (doctrine) of The Big Bang. Let us sustain that prayer of yours.
I felt the same exact way. I wish they had more time. I wanted to hear a technical response from Neil to help guide this young Man in his own theory.
I'm hoping he create a media platform where we can keep abreast of his journey. Truly a remarkable young gentleman. :)
I know right, I was sitting on the edge of my seat, because I know he was about teach us something to think about and I have a PhD. The child thinks on a higher level!
It's a "news" network they have all the time need for what they want to show.
That kid is learning at an amazing pace. I hope he goes on to do great things and keep humble. He still has a lot to learn that academia is not going to teach him.
Neil should tell him to make sure to get v-axxed.
*IT'LL ALL GOING DOWNHILL ONCE HE DISCOVERS RAP MUSIC.*
@CNNOTHING BURGER LETS GO BRANDON!!! why have you been negative on all the threads. Just appreciate the gift In this young lad and keep it moving. Not all kids are exposed/love rap. Ijs
He won't....... he will be burried under the bullshit & will burn out...

The few moments that David spent explaining his hypothesis was astounding......can't wait to hear great things from this wonderkid!
Agreed. I hope Neil gives David the chance to discuss his hypothesis further when they get the tickets to his podcast in Philly!
Wow fantastic, the way his face lit up when the professor appeared is everything. Good luck to the young boy.
I have no doubt that this incredible kid will be key to taking humanity to a new era. Safe travels David.
Amen 🙏🌄🙏
like the kid said, - what's the big deal? He must have studied hard and have great working brain, but he didn't invent/create/propose anything (yet). There have been a lot of record-setting graduations for decades now, but has been just one Einstein
Then you have no understanding of the history of such things.
@@drstevej2527 He's right. All the kid has done is read a lot of books and studied hard. Lots of kids have done that. His father is the usual nigerian, so it's no surprise that he pushed his son to study hard.
@@Gamble333
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. Research emotional intelligence!
That kid has beautiful parents. I didn't know he would've gotten into a theory about the universe .I actually wanted to hear him continue what he was saying to Neil DeGrasse Tyson.His father lets him ask what he wants when it comes to knowledge.Thanks for featuring him.

@@cnnothingburgerletsgobrand6381 you're a demon
He understands the idea of it. He just is, he doesn’t put himself below or above. Very humbling seeing this young man not follow the idea that he’s ahead but can lead.
I study astrophysics as a hobby. David is a genius at it, at age 9 NDT is my favorite scientist, and having him as a mentor will open up the path for the next great mind. Not to mention all of David’s other endeavors. He grow up awesome!!!!
I'm already looking forward to seeing David 10 years in the future, what he's accomplished as a 19yo, and reflecting back to this moment of him as a 9yo.

How refreshing to see someone so young and full of promise.Perhaps he will benefit the world someday,with his genius.
This interview had me in tears. I love it. That was me in school.
Everyone watches this appreciate the greatness you are witnessing this kid is a legend looking forward to the greatness he will achieve 🔥❤️
The intelligence and poise of this youngster at 9 years old is both breathtaking and awe inspiring. His future is whatever he wants it to be!
Great Parenting.
@@reneejohnson9857 There are plenty of kids with wonderful supportive parents like these who don't graduate from high-school at the age of 9.
please look at previous child geniuses. A lot of them have greater minds than this kid. And point out which one has made a real contribution to science. Let me tell you, none. There's something about human psychology that comes into play here. And this boy's attitude is really a good example.
He rattled off about a dozen or so professions when asked what he wanted to be. A real genius would answer 'I don't know' to the question.
@@Boomras1 don't forget this is about this child and his support system which are his parents.
love the last thing you said: "don't forget to be a kid"
This is a great example of why education is so important 👏 I hope all kids see this video and be reminded and mindful, safe travels David ❤💙😊
Proud as a Nigerian! I hope he achieves his best goals
Congratulations, David! I wish you were my tutor, and I’m 53 years older than you. You’re one of the most impressive people of ANY age, young or old, I’ve ever seen, and I know that your work in the near future will benefit all 8,000,000,000 members of our family, so thank you in advance.

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. God Bless You! I'm proud for you young man. Keep forging. forward.
When a child sees excellence as the norm, it ceases to amaze them the way it does most. That’s his superpower. Go ahead, David! 🎉 🎉🎉
That my friend is the best comment here👍🏾
💯
Seeing that kid's smile when he saw Neil was so heart warming. I wish more kids had heroes like him. We need more scientists and less influencers.
Black man Sperm is the common factor ... Barack Obama , Pamala harris, Patrick Mahones is the common factor.. His father Nigerian
This kid has a bright future, may god protect and guide him.
He is too precious. Lord help him to be all that he can be and to handle knowledge with wisdom and guidance from his parents and mentors.
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.
Black man Sperm is the common factor ... Barack Obama , Pamala harris, Patrick Mahones is the common factor.. His father Nigerian
Dr NDT has stated in other venues that Carl Sagan didn't have any influence in his desire to become an astrophisicist.
NDT wanted to become an astrophysicist when he was 9, before knowing who Carl Sagan was.
Wierdo
It's always "on the shoulders of giants"
ask him what he thinks about the constitution and bill or rights reneging......lame
Protect this kid at all costs. He might do great things for humanity.
Same as I was thinking.
@mig7290... Basically the kid just proved the existences of GOD scientifically. For all the lies, deceptions, and generations that have been false feed the big bang theory and have died not knowing the truth. And naturally CNN says we got to go to Commercial break. Saracsm. Go figure! This is why less people are watching CNN

What an awesome kid! Clearly, awesome parents as well!
He’s only nine years old. Stupid doesn’t begin until 12teen, the IQ no longer matters a cause hormones are more powerful that fissionable materials, and ration and reason take a vacation!!
This is just a hoax. A nine-year-old cannot obtain this educational attainment. It is simply impossible. Why does this not happen in Europe or in China, for example? Aren't disinformation channels tired of presenting such lies to the public?
Democrats like low information voters that's why they want to lower the voting age to sixteen. 🤦♂️
@@theprodigalson4690 WTF?
Mozart composed his first symphony at five years old. Just knowing how all the instruments of an orchestra would meld at five, yes I think this kid could graduate high school at nine.
My neice was reading the STL Post-Dispatch newspaper at 3, without training. That was 1981, back when a newspaper was still something.
@@beefchowmein
low information voters?
The numbers say that the percentage of Party of Stupid voters with advanced degrees is much higher than the percentage of Party of Liars Cheats and Thieves voters!!
Attaining Advanced degrees requires learning and remembering vast amounts of information. Yes most of it is useless on a daily basis, but information is the pathway to critical thinking skills, something red voters lack, it’s why they lie cheat and thieve!!
Their great parenting skills made it possible for him to flourish.
Huge respect to his father! Very wise and intelligent too I'm sure
You're a genius. That's the big deal. I love this positive story. 👏🏾
Agree but for David it's no big deal, it's like so what. LOL
Our Nigerian son we are proud of you 🇳🇬💕
What an amazing moment in his life.
You can tell he’s a lot like his dad. The genius was his dad, with the smart AND willingness to obey from mom
I love this kid's whole attitude he's not letting any of this phase him or give him a big head, he's just like "what's next". Congratulations young man I look forward to seeing what you do.

You can tell who the adults were in the room. Dad did all he could to control the show hosts who couldnt even tell how silly their questions were, as you could tell by the young man. Despite the short time this young man just gave a glimpse of what his mind is capable with his own attempts to theorize matter , gravity etc. Look forward to seeing a real interview of this young man in the future. Nature or nurture, it's clear even the parents realized he was a special kid early on and did their best to open their world for him to explore it.
Were you watching the same video?
The kid look like a super villain
The interviewers were so unpleasant. I'll love to have them be interviewed by someone else
NDT and the lying lierarchy is AFRAID of this brilliant young boy---> who is going to EXPOSE ALL the LIES.
advices from Neil DeGrasse Tyson were obviously sound, given also the very short time but then the hosts did what they are paid to do: if any content become uncomfortably intellectual they immediately dumb it down. of course parents are doing a great job or that kind wouldn't be so intelligent and wise
Congratulations son I'm so proud him..great job little brother
Ohhh that little giggle just made my heart melt ❤
Kid who are geniuses like David really need wonderful parents who support and love them. Looks like he is blessed in that department. Sadly it is likely far more geniuses never flourish because the lack that support & love. I look forward to hearing more about David's future accomplishments or his path in life. I really just want him to be happy and have fun.
I knew my child was different when he was a baby. He spoke so early. I also followed his lead and encouraged his interests. Answering the.endless curious questions about absolutely everything was exhausting but this was his way to process his world. It's really that simple. I applaud David's parents, he's still a little boy with a fabulous mind. Great job.
There are a lot of stories like this and I'm shocked that they actually covered something positive for a change.
Well, it must be Black History month, otherwise they wouldn't show it. 😊😊
Is time to promote things like this to start making a real change. Seems like cnn is changing 😂
Well please call us when tucker carlson reports the success of a black person that doesn't belong to maga I will wait.
For this kid to see someone in this space that looks like him is the first of many to come!!! God Bless America!!!!
...and a CHILD shall LEAD them! As a fellow David, I'm beyond proud and overwhelmed. 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! Well done Your Excellency David Balogun, CBE!
I'm so proud of your son! The worlds are waiting for genius people to make great things happen.
Black man Sperm is the common factor ... Barack Obama , Pamala harris, Patrick Mahones is the common factor.. His father Nigerian .. just making a fact.. Mixed kids are Amazing..
Unfortunately, the so called real world 🌎 will destroy his ambition. 😶
I have a friend that also went to college at 9... the common denominator is that they're both of Nigerian heritage. Kudos to him 👏🏾👏🏾

Awesome David!... really great achievements for such a young life...I wish you well in your endeavors, the world needs bright young people to carry on....
So, actually answering those childhood questions rather than getting annoyed at them, think how much farther we could be as a society.
Good Job Dad, keeping your childs insatiable curiousity in development while simultaneously protecting him from unintentional HIPPA law violations (and presumably explaining why thats important) is really a lot of high quality parental effort.
Refuting the big bang is a great place to start David, I think you're on to something; the event might well be a trick of the light, or, um, whole EM spectrum I mean.
Good luck with your future endeavors!!!☀️🌱🌟
This is what happens when boys have their fathers. You don’t hear of these stories often, but you never hear of them when the father isn’t around.
In other words, everyone who was raised in a two parent household, or has an active father in their life is going to be like this ?
I'm sure that's not how reality works.

When he saw Neil, his reaction was soothing 🤩

God Bless America, because this kid is going to bless the entire world!!!
Love this!!!!!!!
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.
@@MartenFerret He’s on to something though, he’s already quoting scientific laws. Give him some time.
@@imeaniguess.6963 as @MartenFerret explained, our physics is for this universe, the universe AFTER the big bang, not before it. Therefore, it doesn't have to follow our physics law.
@@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.

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.
17 is not 9. 17 is almost adulthood. 9 is pre-teen, not even teenage.
Tyson is a failed academic who has no publications. He now makes a living as a professional guest.

Congratulations young man. My youngest son is a physicist and engineer.... we need more of you to ask the new questions.
I wish you the best in life!!
Hopefully this little man will come to recognize that what he has is a gift and it is a big deal. And not everyone has that type of gift. To be humble.
I wouldn’t go buy all the scores or even the pace at which he excelled, but you can tell by the look in his eyes and the way he speaks he’s smart.
Love how he instantly started talking about his physics idea with Neil
ask him what he thinks about the constitution and bill or rights reneging.....and JFK....
He's so humble! What an insightful, honorable young man
@@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.
this deGrasse character has been in trouble for raping women
And you have him on tv talking to kids? sick american deviants
@@evanroth2805 WHITE FOLKS, WHITE FOLKS WHITE FOLKS ,ALWAYS WHITE FOLKS..Disparaging a 9 year old that has accomplished something Extraordinary. Cant just say Congradulations. BUT if he committed a Crime yall would be all over him calling him a typical Black Thug..Man Do Yall Not ANY SHAME?
This kid is so composed
I don't appreciate how Don took on this interview, but I do applaud how these parents have the time for the child. Yes, he is still a child just in another level intellectually. The father was just trying to help his son process that answer. I love how the mom explained the way they had to find other means of education (not the traditional one) to feed his curiosity because that's the way David learns the most. That was very sweet and kind of her explaining this with details.
Then two comments below you Charlotte Brooks says 😂 ｈａｈａ
Beautiful little soul, please protect this child at all times!!!!
I love that he’s still a kid. That’s what impresses me the most. He still acts his age and that is a blessing. ❤ So happy for him.
Yea that’s kind of the point
Get them back on! For longer please!
Don’t forget how smart his parents are. They’re both doctors. They say smart parents make smart kids! I’m rooting for David. My mom n dad were both highly educated. I once got in trouble for being “too bright in class”.
Oh my goodness this just warms my heart looking at this brilliant young man!!! What amazing parents he has and I also love Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson!
He is a boy. Not a grown up.
@@rickmerritt128 I'm aware of that which is why I said "young man."
@@saramatthews7159 what is his age?
I am so proud of this young man at 9yrs who graduated from high school and finished his first year of college what a blessing and inspiration to other young people God bless you David. The sky is the limited go make a different in the lives of others. Congratulations to the parents!
He should be awarded and should be enabled to inspire the children of the world
Wonderful news such a blessing to see our people presented in a bright light. I hope Dr Degrass Tyson mentors David.
The way his face lit up at the mention of Neal. Clearly David is a fan.
Wishing David much happiness and fulfilment, alongside stellar success. Huge admiration to the parents for taking this genius in their loving stride💡💛
