Some people are smart because they were born with a talent for learning. If society wouldn't crush children's creativity and curiosity, maybe this would happen more often.
This is a message to everyone here, if you have children or are planning of having children, PAY ATTENTION TO THEM NO MATTER WHAT, if they say school is boring then take it seriously, if they request to learn something different, start them off with something simple yet interesting.
I aced all my college classes and i thought i was smart until i saw this video. There goes my self-confidence. Btw, im really glad that the parents still allow him to be kid.
It's not just the children that inspire me, it's also the amazing parents who do everything in their power to assist their child in furthering their understanding. Great parents make great kids!
I love how he said "its never boring talking to college students." How sweet and innocent. The college intellectual ambiance is relaxing, stimulating, & nurturing for both the body, mind, and soul. It expands & relax our minds. Whether you are 9 or 90 years old - learning is beautiful, calming, & inspirational.
I really think if i was kept away from Girls, TV, Soda, Candy and didn't have worry about family problems and being bullied at a young age, i would perform way better not on his level but not that far apart... wish him the best !!!
Hats off to his intelligent, caring, and supportive family. In order to constantly challenge a person with such talent like Tanishq, they've must have been very active with his interests. I wish all parents all over the world would be able to do this with their children as well. He seems to have a very well rounded life; good for him! Best of luck Tanishq!
Usually when you see this kid geniuses they seem to be incredibly awkward and have serious social problems, but Tanishq obviously seems to be able to act just like a normal kid. It's a great testament to his parents, allowing him to still have fun and make friends.
Why don't neuroscientists gather all these human miracles such as prodigies and savants and actually do some serious studies.We could find out so much about the human mind.
Why dislike the video? This kid is a gem not only is he smart, but most importantly he is a humble person with good intentions to help out man kind in the future.
Tanishq has two gifts in life: 1) His God-given desire to learn at an accelerated level (and therefore his ability to do so at an early age) 2) His supportive parents...it's clear he would never have these opportunities if it wasn't for their encouragement and dedication to him and his sister. Remarkable. Much kudos to everyone involved in enriching this kid's life.
The kid is just lucky that he receives all this opportunities.Most kids his age don't get home-schooled, don't even get raised the same way. His parents can afford college. The kid is missing out on his childhood. He even misses having friends! I'm sure more kids could be as smart as he is with the right parental supervision. You can notice that he is a child just by what he suggests sometimes. But the parents push him (notice the T-shirt he's wearing in the end and the quote, idea of parents?).
My mother was told by a psychologist that I would never be able to get married if she allowed me to be put into a higher grade as my school had suggested. I was kept at grade/age level all my school years. i learned nothing in my classes, was not able to communicate with people my own age, but I didn't stop learning. I am incredibly educated but have no certification for it. I am happy that i didn't allow myself to stagnate. I did marry and have children. Now I am writing books.So happy for him
This shows the great QUALITIES AND POTENTIAL...that God has placed in ALL MANKIND...but it is up to us to discover them...Tanishq is a great example of it..It doesnt matter how old or young one may be....the gifts..in us....can be utilized at any stage in our life....
The young man is intellectually gifted no denying that at all. It is worth mentioning that most if not all of us can grasp certain concepts that at first glance seem difficult (like cosmology), the only difference is that for "normal" people like us, we would have sit down a little longer to understand it, but its doable. Anything is possible.
This kid will likely be helping answer the big questions we have about our 13.75 billion year old universe in years to come. It's good to know that in an age where pseudo-intellectuals can gather a following and gain positions of power (Ken Ham, Paul Broun, Ian Juby, Todd Akin, etc.) that there are people a decade or so younger than me who will lead the scientific world with new concepts and abstract methodology. Really makes you happy knowing there are people like this out there. :)
When you love what you do it's never looked at as work. Like he said he does it for fun, I love seeing people so deep in their passion because they are truly happy and it glows from them.
Beautiful....Theres no doubt that he is insanely gifted but this video also shows what happens when you remove the walls set by traditional schooling and let kids learn at their own pace. Go Tanishq!!!! :)
I honestly saved a screenshot of your comment, because I feel it's spot-on to the problem plaguing the state of education. It's been a problem for a long time, and I've felt a growing desire to be a part of the reform that will introduce the necessary changes. Seriously, save this comment of yours and use it to bring awareness to those who have the power to change the education system where you live. With your permission, I would like to use it as well to accomplish the same.
This kid is absolutely brilliant and a great inspiration. The love of learning... doesn't get much better than that. If only this motivation could extend to other students.
I'm supposed my child won't be a prodigy, and I'm really happy about it!! :)) I don't think is goodfor a child to be so much different from peers. Social skills are more important at that age (actually, at any age)
Again kids like these need to be encouraged...not demoralized by other kids that don't understand. Sometimes these kids are what we need to bring on a healthier tomorrow.
might be my favourite prodigy. I will look out for him and the wonderful things he'll do. He seems so humble, sweet and adjusted. Sometimes the brainy child prodigies come off a bit socially awkward and arrogant or too precocious. Tanishq comes across as an 8 year old, who's just really smart.
The strongest thing the universe can have is a kid at that age with his imaginaton, and that level off knowledge. For him the posibilities are endless, he does not know of common sense, so he will be able to do anything he wants, and that is what he is going to do! We need more kids like him if we want to go to some place like a planet witch is not in our solar system.
i watch this with a deep sigh of relief. how wonderful to see that there will be brilliant human beings like this to pass on the legacy of this planet to. the world will not turn to shit as i'm old and greying after all.
Besides how smart he is, what I like about this is that he is not being FORCED to do any of this, his parents just fully SUPPORT him and what he wants to do.
If Tanishq runs for president, I'll vote for him. He is so blessed to have the support of his parents and people who belive in him. I wish the people who criticize homeschooling would see this video. Way to go Tanishq!!!!
The great thing about this kid is that he is a kid. His dreams are somewhat out of this world which gives him the opportunity to finally bring new ideas to the world. Not one of his dreams cannot be accomplished.
I hope he gets to experience social activity. I assume he's introverted but I was just like him (albeit not that smart) when I was 8. Now this social world is crushing me that i've grown up. He is lucky to have a caring and supportive family and community.
Who is also on a marathon of these videos and feel more worthless?
Those kids in his class must feel like shit knowing a 8 year old has the highest grade in there class.
Imagine how all the other students feel
Compared to the other prodigies he acts a lot more to his age...
Some people are smart because they were born with a talent for learning. If society wouldn't crush children's creativity and curiosity, maybe this would happen more often.
I can't wait to hear about this kid in the future.
This is a message to everyone here, if you have children or are planning of having children, PAY ATTENTION TO THEM NO MATTER WHAT, if they say school is boring then take it seriously, if they request to learn something different, start them off with something simple yet interesting.
hes a good kid, he dont act like a big head around other kids around his age, And he says his pleases and thank you's lol
"She's my sister, Tiara. She's six years old and that's basically it." I love that he's a genius but still such a kid.
I aced all my college classes and i thought i was smart until i saw this video. There goes my self-confidence. Btw, im really glad that the parents still allow him to be kid.
I love Tanishq's enthusiasm and passion for astronomy. He is absolutely awesome.
I would feel really dumb if I was 19 and still in a class with an 8 year old.
Young Raj from the big bang theory.
He's so cute. And smart. Real smart.
obviously hes indian...
real life Sheldon Copper
His parents are AMAZING
You can actually see that his own age limits him... cognitive functions are lightyears ahead of his speach center...
And I thought I was smart. *sob
Could he be any cuter ?
Tanishq for president!
this child is a true blessing from god!!!!!!!!!!!!he could be the hope of this world
If only my parents would've started teaching me since age 1
He may be the only guy alive who could understand women.
It's not just the children that inspire me, it's also the amazing parents who do everything in their power to assist their child in furthering their understanding. Great parents make great kids!
I think he'd probably be a really good president
Indians are smart
Inb4 this kid saves the human race from extinction
I love how he said "its never boring talking to college students." How sweet and innocent. The college intellectual ambiance is relaxing, stimulating, & nurturing for both the body, mind, and soul.

8:08 "he can choose anything he likes, but as long as it keeps him happy" thats just amazing parental support. :-)
Usually when you see this kid geniuses they seem to be incredibly awkward and have serious social problems, but Tanishq obviously seems to be able to act just like a normal kid. It's a great testament to his parents, allowing him to still have fun and make friends.
i truly hope this kid goes on to make this world a better place for all human kind
Was this supposed to be a compliment or insult?
Isn't it amazing that concepts which many adults have a difficult time understanding come so easy to this 9 year old? That's wild.
Why don't neuroscientists gather all these human miracles such as prodigies and savants and actually do some serious studies.We could find out so much about the human mind.

I feel so stupid right now. He will do great things for America. =)

I do see him being the president of the USA

Very generous! The family is based in California, so not sure if they're looking at schools so far away.
This kid is gonna help evolve the World.
rajesh koothrappali ?

i would like to recommend Jacob Samuel(Sam) ,He is an Amazing Child Pianist from India born with a gift of perfect pitch...Sam is 9yrs old...
he has a great personality! so humble about his success and a seemingly very happy and healthy little boy.
man i hope this kid gets the help he needs! he is awesome and he could end up saving us all one day. :) take care tanishq

Seeing him and the other kids really gives back some hope in this world
SHELDOOOOOOON!
Being so young, his imagination probably allows him to grasp extremely difficult concepts. I bet.
This kid is so inspiring its amazing really :P
Man. Something makes me feel bad for this kid. *sigh* Like, Flowers for Algernon sad.
When you love what you do it's never looked at as work. Like he said he does it for fun, I love seeing people so deep in their passion because they are truly happy and it glows from them.
This Kid Has A Great Talent On His Hands! I wish i was as smart as him! Im Proud Of Him!! He Will Make A Difference In Life :)
She's my sister Tiara, she's 6 years old... and that's basically it! haha
yea, how many other 8 eight year olds do you know that are like that.
Dear God
There is joy in the eyes of this boy. Do not take this joy away prematurely simply for the sake of being a genius.
hope this kid does great things
Beautiful....Theres no doubt that he is insanely gifted but this video also shows what happens when you remove the walls set by traditional schooling and let kids learn at their own pace. Go Tanishq!!!! :)
can you imagine how much he gets picked on by the other students for being different
Exactly, if he plays video games, he will remember more about them than what he remembers from his books which may in turn make him fail.
Many little Einstein's yet no change of human circumstances.

wow he is amazing!
This kid is absolutely brilliant and a great inspiration. The love of learning... doesn't get much better than that. If only this motivation could extend to other students.
"I want to build a rocket that goes faster than light!" Almost teared up because don't most kids that age want a xbox?
Hope this kid fulfils his dreams. Schools can sometimes. Surpress a kids talent. I am glad his parents listened to this kid and supported him.
I'm supposed my child won't be a prodigy, and I'm really happy about it!! :))

The other college students look mad and jealous loool

WOW
the ending of the video definitely gave me a tear in my eye... thank god for such opportunities like this for children of the world
looks like abed from community

I would feel so dumb and change my life plans if I was in class w this kid lol.....hope he does some amazing things
i watch this with a deep sigh of relief. how wonderful to see that there will be brilliant human beings like this to pass on the legacy of this planet to. the world will not turn to shit as i'm old and greying after all.
This kid makes me smile.
Besides how smart he is, what I like about this is that he is not being FORCED to do any of this, his parents just fully SUPPORT him and what he wants to do.
raj from the big bang theory??
If Tanishq runs for president, I'll vote for him. He is so blessed to have the support of his parents and people who belive in him. I wish the people who criticize homeschooling would see this video. Way to go Tanishq!!!!
Help me with my homework??...NO here, DO MY HOMEWORK!....and I need that back in 10 minutes....lol
Every time I watch Prodigies I'm like OMG I LOVE THIS KID!
Hehe, "This is my sister, she's six years old, and that's basically it."
kids like this are so needed for our future
he's so pure... i really hope he stays like that.
The great thing about this kid is that he is a kid. His dreams are somewhat out of this world which gives him the opportunity to finally bring new ideas to the world. Not one of his dreams cannot be accomplished.
Faith in humanity restored
Oh my gosh i have never seen anything like this in my whole life, this is truly amazing
LOL. That was gold.
At this rate, he will be contributing greatly for humanity in the foreseeable future.
DON'T ROB THIS LITTLE BOY FROM HIS CHILDHOOD!!!!
THAT IS THE MOST MOST IMPORTANT LESSON ;D
People like these make me have hope in humanity.
i would like to recommend Jacob Samuel(Sam) ,He is an Amazing Child Pianist from India born with a gift of perfect pitch...
I hope he gets to experience social activity. I assume he's introverted but I was just like him (albeit not that smart) when I was 8. Now this social world is crushing me that i've grown up. He is lucky to have a caring and supportive family and community.
