Baby Genius: 2-Year-Old Knows Chemistry and Physics

January 12th, 2012 - By Brande Victorian

Science was never my thing so I am in total awe of Romanieo Golphin Jr. The 2-year-old can tell you what a proton is and how many electrons are needed to make Helium, all while casually enjoying a bowl of cereal and watching his dad piece together nucleic models.

Romanieo’s no genius though. His father, Romanieo Sr. says his son’s advanced knowledge of science is simply a process of cultivating talent that everybody is born with. The composer developed a series of learning programs he uses for his son called BabytechiOS and Novus and he’s already met with African American astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson and produced videos demonstrating his son’s knowledge of chemistry, physics, and astronomy. Who says black men don’t invest in their children?

Romanieo is sending a great message by encouraging parents to develop the innate knowledge their children are born with. Check out Romanieo’s science skills below.

Have you ever seen a young kid like this?

    Wow! What a GREAT father! That little boy owes him his life! He’s imparting timeless knowledge. This is what parents should be doing, nowadays parents are so LAZY. it’s the responsibility of the parent to groom the child. Not the teachers, and not the police. I had parents like that. Thank God! Love u mom and dad :-D

    I keep saying we should be pushing math and science from a very young age.  It’s great that these parents are wholly involved in the intellectual development of their child.  I couldn’t help but laugh to hear the father say: “Do you know what celestial body this is?”  This child’s vocabulary is already advanced..lol.

    Yes, beautiful!! We can do anything we put are mind to and our children should be a brilliant reflection of our gifts and talents!

    Great article, unfortunately, the audience you website caters to has a serious issue with intelligent men. Intelligent men make them feel inadequate, and therefore they dont want those men, which is why the “nerds” and “good men” are for the most part, are with white women.

    • Smacks_hoes

      I think intelligent men are so attractive

      I married a geek. Love it. Especially since we have our boys watch the Science Channel so they know there is a bigger universe than just this world.

        My hubby is a straight up geek.  Love it.

      You and I never agree, but I agree with you on this one.  Too many women would disregard a man like him.  I have seen it many times with my own eyes.

  • Sistercocomocha

    We have always been intelligent and articles like this are needed!
