This kid has graduated from high school 4 years before Sheldon did.
His IQ is 20 odd lower than Sheldons but still pretty cool.

Nobody will ever reach the heights he reached in theoretical physics...Ever. Besides this kid is an atro-physicist... ;)
Einstein changed everything, it can't really be changed again because what we knew back then was very limited and what we know now isn't, so to do what Einstein did is impossible ;)

some bout the same :P
seriously though this kid is a freak, but his iq must be higher as 170 isnt much if his doing all that.
Also ill just say ignore my other thread.

Alex7089

HAHA! Couldn't give it up 'eh?
Yeah I must say he is utilising his intelligence well.  Even I am not far from that.

bomberboy0618

nope :P
This kid would get burnt out though eventually i would say?

Well it seems to be his curiosity that drives him, a thirst for knowledge.
As long as he doesn't discover everything there is to discover in astro-physics, he will be fine ;) Besides I am sure there are numerous Universities that would be happy to have him, by the sounds of it he wants to share his knowledge as well.
