11 Year Old Boy Graduates University in Physics Plans Research on Immortality

An eleven year old boy, Laurent Simons, graduated with a degree in physics and plans out a way to create human immortality by replacing body parts with mechanical parts. I don't know how he gets there with a knowledge base in quantum physics, but anyway, kudoos for him for trying to dream big! https://www.newsweek.com/laurent-simons-11-second-youngest-graduate-ever-plans-make-humans-immortal-1607168 "This is the first puzzle piece in my goal of replacing body parts with mechanical parts," Simons said. "Immortality, that is my goal. I want to be able to replace as many body parts as possible with mechanical parts. I've mapped out a path to get there. You can see it as a big puzzle. Quantum physics—the study of the smallest particles—is the first piece of the puzzle," he said. "Two things are important in such a study: acquiring knowledge and applying that knowledge. To achieve the second, I want to work with the best professors in the world, look inside their brains and find out how they think," Simons added.
