32-year-old Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski, built a plane when she was 12, was rejected from MIT, persuaded MIT to take her anyway, graduated top of her class in physics, and went on to study at Harvard.
But she rejects the Einstein moniker. She said: “When Harvard University called me ‘the next Einstein’, I expressed my rejection of that title, stating, ‘I am just a grad student. I have so much to learn. I do not deserve the attention'”. It comes during an alarming time for scientists, with a sinister kidnap conspiracy theory emerging over one who burned to death in a Tesla.
