A genius boy, only 11 years old, has a bachelor's degree in physics, and his dream for the future is 'the pursuit of immortality through mechanization.'

It is reported that Laurent Simmons, an 11-year-old boy living in Ostend , Belgium, received his bachelor's degree in physics at the age of only 11. At the time of graduation, the grade was 9 points, and he received the summa cum laude, which is the top 5% of the grades.

Belgian-Dutch child prodigy gets bachelor's degree in physics at age 11: 'Immortality is my goal'

Simmons is known as a genius and entered elementary school at the age of two and grammar school at the age of six. At the age of seven and a half, I started studying electrical engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology.

However, there was a conflict of opinion between the university side, who said that it was not realistic to graduate from college by the age of 10, and Simmons' parents, and Simmons himself was the victim of bullying at college. Simmons dropped out of Eindhoven University of Technology because he was bullied. The youngest person in history to get a bachelor's degree from a university is Michael Kearney, who graduated from the University of Alabama in the United States at the age of 10 in 1994, and Simmons set the youngest record in history if the university approves. It was said that it was.

After that, although there were plans to study abroad in Israel and the United States, Simmons, who had a keen interest in taking lectures on classical mechanics and quantum physics from April 2020, finally entered Antowerp University and entered physics. I went on to major. Since I had earned credits at Eindhoven University of Technology, I took three years to get a bachelor's degree, but in just one year. Due to the epidemic of the new coronavirus, most of the lectures were online, so he rarely came into contact with other students, and he went to school only when he went to the laboratory for experiments and research.

Simmons is planning to get a master's degree in physics from Antwerp University as it is, and he is thinking about getting a doctorate in the future. However, according to Simmons' father, he is considering moving to Israel to write a treatise while interacting with many scholars.

When asked 'Why are you studying physics?', Simmons said, 'Immortality is my goal. I want to be able to replace as many parts of my body as possible with mechanical parts. I've already drawn the roadmap to get there. Think of it like a big puzzle. Quantum physics is the first piece of this puzzle. Applying that knowledge is two important things. To get the second, work with the best professors in the world, look inside their minds, and what they think. I want to know. '
