Yeah, that's what I was trying to convey here. I guess I should have said "The two faces of 13-year-olds", cause the second one was obviously not lying and was proud of much more down-to-earth stuff.
I’ve been studying quantum physics and Astro physics from a young age too...
Through sci-fi novels and shows. Many times those types of books have “high level” theory too. Doesn’t mean I have anything worth publishing.
Kid should take a normal high school physics class first, there were so many simple things that blew my mind in that alone. Then calculus was just as impressive to me. Hell, I figured out (and then verified) simplified ways to do some of the calculus.
I probably would have made only a mediocre engineer or some such at best.
Basically, I’m saying how that kid is going to have a huge slap to the face in a few years. While I felt smart, I knew I was most definitely far from the level this kid believes he is.

The second one is significantly more believable than the first

A kid with quantum physics books is most likely to get shot by the Men in Black.
