    I have read the book and it is actually really cool.

    Not babies but children are often more open to unconventional ideas.

        I guess if you’re taught that things can be in two places at once, can appear and disappear at random, and all sorts of other spooky weirdness, that would seem normal. Magic would lose a lot of charm, though.

        “So he made his assistant disappear. So what? She probably just teleported somewhere using quantum entanglement.”

          You’re on the fast lane to become “that kid” at school, for sure. “Have you seen the new superman? He shot lasers from his eyes! How cool was that!” “Laser? He must have admirable pupils, alright, but… what’s so special about focused light, eh?”

    If the book title was “Kubernetes for Babies”, we’d probably get the same reaction

    I am wondering who is the originator of this dumbass idea of trying to teach babies and 1-2 year olds advanced science. It really plays well on the parents’ fantasies about their child being the most important person of the next century
