His parents are also very smart. They are doing an awesome job by putting him into an artistic field like the choir practice. I'am sure he will grow up to be an intelligent well-rounded person who will contribute to society

"I want to design a rocket ship that will travel faster than the speed of light"

Whoa there, kiddo. That's a little too advanced. Focus on portals and manipulating wormholes first. I want to survive that voyage.

Recent advancements in mathematics support the possibility of faster than light travel by warping space around a body with incredible amounts of negative energy. Look it up. Technically the craft can't go faster than light but it can bend space to travel less distance. Its similar to the point on a paper analogy where folding the paper will make the point travel across the paper without actually moving.
