Belgian prodigy Laurent Simons, nicknamed “little Einstein”
Young Belgian Laurent Simons, who has an IQ of 145, wants to dedicate himself to medical sciences and has immortality in his sights.
The Belgian prodigy Laurent Simonsnicknamed “little Einstein”, finished his doctorate in quantum physics at just 15 years old, after graduating at 13 and finishing high school at eight.
The young man entered primary school at the age of four and completed it at six. At the age of 12, he already had a master’s degree in quantum physics, focusing on boons and black holes. The Belgian teenager will have a photographic memory and a QI de 145.
Despite being harassed by several major American and Chinese technology companies eager to hire him and an unnamed Asian billionaire offering him financial support and networking opportunities, Simons has remained characteristically calm.
“I’m still underage“, he noted in an interview with in 2022, stressing that the important decisions rest with his parents, Alexander and Lydia.
Simons also assured that he was not missing anything from his childhood, claiming that he enjoys “more freedom than other children” thanks to the flexible structure of your studies.
At the age of 11, after the death of his grandparents, Laurent defined the objective to which he intended to dedicate his extraordinary intellect: the immortality. It is for this purpose that the young man wants to dedicate himself to medical sciences in the future.
According to , it is likely that Laurent is the youngest in the world to complete a PhD in this field, despite there is no official registration data to confirm the suspicion.
Although it may seem impossible, Simons is not the youngest in the world to earn the title of doctor. Guinness World Records lists him as the youngest person to receive a doctorate. Witte was a German prodigy who received his doctorate in 1814, at 13 years old.
Specifically in the area of physics, one of the youngest graduates in recent years is Carson Huey-Youwho received his doctorate last year, at the age of 21.
