Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg reads quantum physics book to his baby

 

 

If Max ends up excelling in the maths and sciences, it would align with Zuckerberg's own childhood.

Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan had their daughter Max less than a month ago, but they're already starting her education.

The Facebook CEO has posted a picture on the social network alongside his monthly book recommendation showing he and Chan reading out loud to their young daughter.

He starts by joking that the next title in his Year of Books list is "Quantum Physics for Babies." That's a real book that introduces the basics of quantum physics with simple pictures and sentences.

He's actually recommending "World Order" by Henry Kissinger.

But baby books might actually make the list next year.

We're guessing Zuckerberg is poking a little bit of fun at himself and overzealous parenting in general -- but there's growing evidence that reading to infants helps their vocabulary and reading skills later on, even if they don't understand a single thing you're saying at the time. Plus, it's a bonding experience.
