“Every child is a scientist.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson (Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey) is a famed American astrophysicist and cosmologist. On January 15th, at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston, Tyson explained the Meaning of Life, to six year old (well, 6 and three quarters) kid named Jackson –  "What is the meaning of life Tyson… I am curious, Are You?“ – (VIDEO). His response truly is approved for all ages. One of my favourites quotes fromTyson is: “Every child is a scientist.” — VIDEO HERE—- Tyson: We spend the first year of a child’s life teaching it to walk and talk and the rest of its life to shut up and sit down. There’s something wrong there.And"I can’t think of any more human activity than conducting science experiments. Think about it — what do kids do? … They’re turning over rocks, they’re plucking petals off a rose — they’re exploring their environment through experimentation… We explore our environment more than we are compelled to utter poetry when we’re toddlers — we start doing that later. Before that happens, every child is a scientist. And so when I think of science, I think of a truly human activity — something fundamental to our DNA, something that drives curiosity." (Original video). Photo Copyright: theinspirationjourney. More: Tyson’s books, Dalai Lama – The importance of a compassionate mind – VIDEO. Sharing=caring!
