15-Year-Old Belgian Genius Completes Quantum Physics PhD
A 15-year-old boy named Laurent Simons from Belgium has finished his PhD in quantum physics, which is a very hard subject.
He is really smart and finished his studies very quickly.
He wants to work on making 'super-humans' in the future.
After finishing his PhD, he went to Germany to start another PhD in medical science and artificial intelligence.
People all over the world are congratulating him.
Even though he is very smart, he is still not the youngest person to get a PhD.
That record belongs to someone who was 13 years old a long time ago.
Laurent Simons, a 15-year-old from Belgium, completed his PhD in quantum physics at the University of Antwerp.
He has an IQ of at least 145 and aims to create 'super-humans' in the future.
Simons gained popularity at 12 when he received his bachelor's degree in physics in 18 months.
He is now pursuing a second PhD in medical science and artificial intelligence in Munich.
Simons is not the youngest PhD holder; the record is held by Johann Heinrich Friedrich Karl Witte, who was 13.
