Meet The Eight Year Old Child Prodigy Who Is Learning Physics In College

Part of me loves seeing stories about kids like this and part of me really hates it. I mean… he’s probably going to squander his gifts and use them to do something good for society. Where are all the evil geniuses?!? If I had his brain, I’d have had my own skull-shaped island by the time I was 14.

Tanishq Abraham was always smart. At the age of four, he was invited to join Mensa. Now, instead of playing video games and throwing dirt at girls, he’s studying astrophysics and working on his plan to build a rocket that can travel faster than the speed of light. I wonder how humiliated his 23 year old classmates are when they have to ask him for help on a physics question?
