Ah didnt realise that

It is an interesting story. This report is also 2 years old, so it would be even more interesting to see any kind of follow-up.

The line of "proving Einstein wrong" is clearly tabloid nonsense, but is he actually "working" at a university now?

The Daily Mail is a hateful horrible newspaper. England has a problem with lousy print journalism. The Mail isn't the worst example of that, but the paper is really lousy. HN wouldn't lose anything if the Daily Mail was banned. All of those stories are available elsewhere, and probably better too.

I agree that a follow up could be fascinating.

I hope his gifted talent is properly nurtured. Its important that he's not always reminded that he is special and not always be in limelight.

This is an amazing story which just shows no body child should be labeled.
