I'm sure most of you heard of him already but if not I shall give you a bit of backstory. He is a 12 year old genius (not as smart as Lloyd though 
) He began to talk at the late age of 2 when he was diagnosed with a mild form of autism. However at age 3 he solved 5,000 piece puzzles and at age 8 he taught himself algebra, geomotry, and calculus in 2 weeks. Also he is currently attending college. He made a YouTube video explaining why Einstein's theory of relativity and the big bang theory is wrong. (if someone could link it that would be cool)
Anyway I think the kid is a bit overrated. He is way smarter than most people but I wouldnt take his word over Einstein's or Hawking's. The kid is going to go places since ivy leagues want him there (Princeton) The reason I don't think he won't be doing much is that most child prodigies lose their elite status AND most people knew that Einstein was wrong anyway. If you guys didn't know, Einstein did not factor in quantum mechanics when he explained his theories of relativity. He refused to use them and his theory is wrong because he never considered it. However, no one has figured out how to factor quantum mechanics in to his theory. So if this kid wanted to do something I think he should aim to factor in quantum mechanics instead of completely disproving Einstein.
