**Are geniuses born—or can they be raised?**

From an early age, one remarkable young student showed an extraordinary appetite for learning—studying science and music, developing perfect pitch and diving into subjects like chemistry and physics.

But his parents don't see his abilities as simply something he was born with.

Their philosophy raises a fascinating question: **How much of genius comes from genetics, and how much can be shaped by curiosity, opportunity, encouragement and the way a child learns?**

In **Bright Now: Raising a Genius**, that question leads to an extraordinary experiment.

Traveling to Chile's Atacama Desert during a total solar eclipse, father and son embark on "Einstein's Quest"—an attempt to observe the bending of starlight around the Sun, the same phenomenon famously measured during the 1919 eclipse expedition associated with astronomer Sir Arthur Eddington and Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Using modern equipment, could a student recreate a century-old experiment that helped transform our understanding of gravity, light and spacetime?

And perhaps the bigger question: **What becomes possible when a child's curiosity is given room to grow?**

Watch **Bright Now: Raising a Genius** on **CuriosityStream.com**.

👇 What do you think: Is genius something you're born with—or something that can be developed?
