The boy who knew too much: a child prodigy

This is the true story of scientific child prodigy, and former baby genius, Ainan Celeste Cawley, written by his father. It is the true story, too, of his gifted brothers and of all the Cawley family. I write also of child prodigy and genius in general: what it is, and how it is so often neglected in the modern world. As a society, we so often fail those we should most hope to see succeed: our gifted children and the gifted adults they become. Site Copyright: Valentine Cawley, 2006 +

Eduwebtv interview of Ainan on Velociperception.

Eduwebtv, which I understand is a Malaysian government TV initiative, recently interviewed Ainan and myself, on our recent research work.

The interview gives a general overview of Ainan's life, to date (a quick sketch) - and looks at some aspects of the new sense perception which Ainan discovered, Velociperception, and which we then worked on understanding and characterizing together, through experimentation and testing of theories.

The link to the interview follows:

Ainan, ten, is rather shy, on camera, and in the presence of strangers, but I think some of him does manage to come across, particularly in unguarded moments, when a little humour creeps in (note the moment when he sneaks out of camera shot, in what I know, from his sense of humour, to be a moment of Ainan style comedy).

Though impromptu, since we didn't expect to be interviewed, I think the journalist did manage to tease out a fairly good outline of parts of Ainan's story (and mine). Thanks to Eduwebtv for taking an interest.

(Eduwebtv is an initiative of the Ministry of Education of Malaysia).

So, take a look at the interview, and if you have any thoughts on it...scribble them below. Thanks.
