- With an IQ of 145, 9-year-old Belgian boy Laurent Simons is on track to become the world's youngest university graduate when he completes a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering at Eindhoven's University of Technology next month.
9 years is considered very old. I graduated when I was 4 years old in Civil Engineering from Lego land.
:)
Bachelor of Lego Land Engineering B.LL.E.
Ik probeer al een tijdje geleden iets heel ernstigs aan het licht te brengen over de studenten van de tue Eindhoven die onzedelijk gedrag vertonen en wel zeer demonstratief met hun geslachtsdeel aan het spelen zijn in het publieke park van de tue Eindhoven maar ik krijg geen antwoord terug van de tue Eindhoven. Na een paar maanden na deze gebeurtenis werd ik ook nog eens verschillende keren bedreigd en er zijn verschillende pogingen geweest om mij ernstig te mishandelen met alle gevolgen van dien ! Ik heb verschillende keren aangifte gedaan bij de politie in Eindhoven van mishandeling en bedreigingen maar de politie doet niks ! De beveiliging van de tue Eindhoven is incompetent, ze hebben niet eens de politie en ambulance gebeld en daarna hebben ze verzuimd mij een antwoord terug te geven op mijn vraag en vertelde mij dat ik een vreemde ben en weg moet anders bellen zij de politie. De politie in Eindhoven is ook incompetent ze hebben verzuimd dit te onderzoeken en ze hebben mij verschillende keren naar buiten geduwd in het verleden toen ik aangifte wilde doen van verschillende andere zaken of om te vragen hoe het zit met de aangiftes die ik wel heb kunnen doen ! Ik heb alles zelf moeten onderzoeken.
Wilt U het bewijs nog zien ? Als ik hier geen beeld materiaal van had dan had niemand mij gelooft !
@@vincentrogiest997 lol wut?
😂
Videos like this make me feel that not everyone is created equally usually we console ourself by saying that hard-work make the difference but man looks like god to extra care while making this boy . 😭😭😭
i just finished watching a 13 year finish college a 11 year old going to university and now this IN A ROW
Would have been like me graduating college in 1994. I was still in the 3rd grade watching Nickelodeon. Am curious what my life would have been like graduating college that young.
Congratulations to your academic achievement I am proud of you earning that college degree is a great accomplishment, for a kid his age keep up the good work!
I saw you comment this on another video
and EEng is the hardest degree
Who’s parents let a 9 year old have Instagram
He has a mind of college student I think he’s goid
Me and my friend scored over 160 on IQ at the age of 12, and now we are 19 years still first semester
Even super geniuses play Minecraft so I’m gonna keep playing this game no matter how old I get
Hope he makes it through evil medical school being a super genius from Belgium
Congratulations...but something you are doing is ideal ,and we just imagine ideal system in physics .
Me 148 lQ and now everyone is stilling from me .stay safe kid .📚📚📚
Omg I just realized the amazing world of gumball where Gumballs mom goes shopping and ask for the manager turns out it's a baby in charge of no they predicted this
This would be the age that I would be at my first year of college
what in the sheldon cooper!!!
Steven He’s dad’s dream child
this kid is the Harrison Wells, of real life
Welp, my life is worthless now.
Hes cute with that hair
A real ass Jimmy neutron or dexter
This is very rarely.
its young sheldon
Kids if abuse didn't exist
so what?
i preffered to go to college at 30 after messing around and enjoying all the things that many youngsters cant have while theyre young
Asian dream child
artificial organ sounds good
but we are gonna have the second problem
what is the "SIDE EFFECT?"
Tesla - resurection
I just want yo cut his hair😁
His dad seems shady to me just saying...
What?
I only have 123 iq 😅😅😅
doesn't really matter, iq is like what, 1 in 6 factors of intelegence
Young Sheldon nerd
NINE?!
lets hope he doesn't get bit by the living woke
nerd
i am 21, studying med and trying to stay alive. this kid makes it look too easy 😅
@@norr0513 but does that make it easy. There are a lot of students who get tutored around the globe.
his school curriculum is not the same as your school curriculum. You dont know what type of wacky “school” he went to
@@adithyadanaj9768 It makes it EASIER. You cannot refute that.
@@talaverajr391 with a high functioning brain*
1:22 a bet his dog is also an engineer
Only 9 years old!?!? He probably studied electrical engineering in the late 2020s - early 2030s as an 18 - 22 year old or so and found some way to go back to his 9 year life with all the knowledge he had then!
elephant35e all it is is knowledge, practically anyone with average or above iq can do what he did
Please don't tell me your someone who believes in time travel SMH🥱
@@njay4399 it could happened.. with our technology in the future
Hahaha great thinking! :)
Ah man my dream of this if I could time travel to my 9 year old self and have the intelligence and knowledge to become the Philippines youngest student to go at college or university
He apparently just dropped out because they wouldn’t let him graduate fast enough lol
Angultra yes this is actually true
Disgusting parents....
Genius kid.too bad his parents are stupid as a rock.
@@norr0513
Its the parents that want him to dropout simply because the university cant graduate him early enough to become world youngest uni graduate because he is required to take some exams. I would say the parent is to blame in this case
@@handsometmd3951 how so
Someone: Its practically impossible to graduate in electrical engineering.
Laurent: hold my baby bottle!
TU/e is not what it used to be, these idiots introduced a 'vrouwen quota'. Only NPC's go there...
9 months to finish a 4 year Bachelor's degree?
What is this? A mail order program?
I was reading an article recently on how he plans on dropping out of the university because the school wont allow him to graduate before he turns 10. He seems as if he has come along way academically and the university should accommodate his wishes.
Still dumber than Young Sheldon.
So does he actually know the stuff or is it just the parents and the officials racing for a record or something. Cuz I've been seeing too many child prodigies on UA-cam lately so I'm having some doubts suspicions about it now. Soem are pure genius like the kid that played chess against
Karpov or a 15 yr old graduate from I don't remember where.
@@adithyadanaj9768 buddy stop being jealous lol. The professor himself said that he is very impressed. Just accept the fact lol.
@@demonizedhuman941 There are many prodigies on youtube where a professor interacts with them and saying they are impressed. And why would you even assume that I'm jealous. I'm just getting doubtful of many of these videos now. Especially after some of these prodigy kids was proven to not even know basic things in Science that's not in their field of expertise. 🤷♂️ So I feel that their parents rushed their education. That's not to say real prodigies are not there just saying that I'm getting more and more doubtful of these videos as time goes on.
@@demonizedhuman941 And this was 1 yr ago. He couldn't become the youngest graduate ever. Cuz the university refused to give him a degree without actually assessing him. His parents were pushing the university to give him a degree before turning 10 or 11 I think🤔 to get the world record. And there's a video where here on UA-cam his father says that it's the university's fault that they delayed it and shit. He just wanted a world record.🤷♂️
I’m doing something wrong in my life 😩😩😩 hell I can’t pass college algebra and this younnngggg man did a whole program in months 🤦🏾♀️
Bachelor degree in 9 months???
At 9???
I can't fail any subjects now
It’s most likely cap, there’s no way he’s already at getting a degree at engineering in university at 9.
0:34, quite impressed? What do you mean by that? Shouldn't that be beyond 'extremely'.?
I haven't seen a single report that offers any insight into how Laurent's mind developed so rapidly. Is he a savant?
Evidently his parents are educated and highly intelligent too. Did they apply some sort of structured training method for their son from the point he was nothing more than a foetus?
These reports are too superficial. More substance please.
He seems a Mozart like prodigy.
They probably beat him daily and put him in a closet to study with an evil clown doll staring at him.
He was raised by his grandparents and his parents only came in the picture when they found out he was smart
145, impossible.... I am about 135-140 and often feel stupid AF... Sure I'm a fast learner, but not even close to be that fast, he must be around 180+ for sure!
Thought I read somewhere that IQ measurement for a child is not equivalent to adult measurement.
@@fredsayshello it would make sense, they do not have as much general knowledge as adults do
Yeah their IQ changes as they grow up until it flattens.
that was on the day and time of the test
Funny I don't even have a girlfriend
Now is that even possible? 😂did he attend 6 lectures at the same time?
old soul
I graduated when I was just one month old
i was still in my moms belly when i graduated
God damn! lol
Young boy got time machine
Hope he‘ll use his Intelligence for changing the world
Or for evil. Megamind is the way to go.
Knowledge”
He doesn't need to use his intelligence for changing the world, like let the guy do whatever he wants to do
They are using him already. He is creating artificial organs because his grandparents have heart issues and he wants them to life forever. So everyone symphatizes with him of course. He says now he is determined to create immortality for humanity. And he is such a good hearted, innocent and beautiful kid. When he succeeds (and he is already well on his way now, cooperating with universities worldwide) all people who don't want to die will have organs replaced by mechanics. What will this do to humanity? We are of flesh and blood with a spirit and soul and emotions. Death is an essential part of life. Not always easy to deal with, but also so beautiful.. when we allow ourselves to totally surrender and have the experience of someone passing with whom we are so near.. mysteries of life. It is not all in our hands. And I feel it is supposed to be like this. Natural. Not like mechanics and robotics taking over.
intelligent people dont change the world ,rich people rule the world
Okay, I am not envy or jealous, but I have some questions.
We cant see him sitting with other students, always himself alone. Where are the others?
He is only at two places, a laborotary with no other students and on stairs in front of the universit
He uses a computer, touches some electronic stuff...
This particular university has no records of him online..
Doesnt someone need to cover a minimum of learning hours (credit hours) to get a degree?
Niranga Dilshan I thought I heard that he gets ‘private lessons’ it’s not exact a private lesson it is a bit different but the other students are over 10 years older than himself. I don’t think that they would be friends because the age difference. They probably don’t like the same things, because Laurent is still a kid.
Niranga Dilshan And he probably does have a whole other program. If he finished it in 9 months instead of 3 years or something like that.
The reality around this child is something completely different than what has been presented in the media. His parents see their own child as a business project and are only interested in gaining as much publicity as they can, with the ultimate goal of turning that publicity into cash at the end. Over the past few years, the father of Laurent has been constantly chasing the media all over Benelux and asking them to do interviews with his smart kid. Those who live in the Netherlands and Belgium know what it is all about. It is a totally abnormal, sick situation. The kid is smart, but is far from being a genius. Some of the courses he passed with barely sufficient grades (which is still a miracle for a 9-year old child), and some of them he failed and had to do resits etc. That all doesn't matter for the parents, as they are not genuinely interested in a healthy development of their son, but rather into having him enter the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest child ever graduating with a bachelor degree. Social isolation in which Laurent is growing up is horrendous. And the university? Well, they see this as a publicity stunt.
I agree, this is terrible. The father sort of demanded a meeting with our King. It's ridiculous. And now they make a fight with the Eindhoven university because they will not let him graduate before he is 10. This is obviously a cluster B personality disordered father but the childcare institutions are failing as usual.
Wow, I did not know of this. Do you have a link of some sort so I can upon those information
I wouldn't be surprised if there is even darker satanic agenda behind all of this, given that this kiddo worldview is basically transhumanism 101 with all this talk about replacing living matter with machinery and advancing mind kontrol.
I agree
Finally; someone divulged the truth behind child prodigies
High IQ is nice and all but how about his overall wellbeing.
Apparently, he is a very liked kid too. No social problems there. :)
He didn't pop out of a class A drug infested womb. He has a roof over his head. He is being fed and clothed. I don't believe he is being hit with a belt buckle for making mistakes nor being thrown against a bedroom wall. He shows no signs of bruising, cigarette burn stub marks. There are no indicators he has been sexually abused..
Further, I believe Laurent shouldn't have any issues paying his bills and supporting his varied hobby interests. I've made my point.! 😳
His father is a narcissistic asshole who pushes this boy to graduate before he is 10, so he can come in the Guinness book of records. He was also offended that our king did not invite him to the palace for a personal meeting. Also look at his poor mother. I don't think she or the kid are very happy.
@Dennis Bernink well, i'd prefer a "common" family yes, not this snobby behaviour over the back of a child. Btw, someone with the name Dennis talking about dumb trashy families is ironic. 🤣
@@sonicstep how could you reasonably reach such conclusions from a short video...?
Don’t worry, with modifier gene therapies we will be able to be as much of a prodigy as Laurent. Give it 10 years
There is no free ride out here. Everything comes at a price.
@@stampedmetalsword8099 Yeah, in 10 years if that were to exist (which it won't), you wouldn't be able to remotely afford it and the ethical complications would illegalize it.
Stewie from family guys in real life 😂
More like Jimmy neutron or dexter
Him: graduating at the age of 9
Me: 21, high school dropout
bcoz ur a loser
Don't compare yourself to others bro. He has the means to reach his dreams.
Nice Hair!
I think they should look into his father, just to make sure there’s no Michael Jackson effect going on...
Demn im looking forward for the New Einsteins of this millenia a lot of kid protege in different areas of society is being born one after another.
Well no one knew about Einstein when he was a kid so don't call these kids new Einstein.
Its not laurent you pronounce it french like laurahn
can't even take off his own sweater without help though...
Lol
How he gave exams without studying other standards?? What is called in these countries?I am very curious about that .. please tell.
Artificial organs.... what about a 'heart of gold'? That would make better use of that precious metal.
That circuit board looks like something I used to make when I was his age. That's not the high tech, that's just putting some traces on a copper clad. This dude knows nothing of the black magic of high frequency circuit design. How could he? They don't teach you any of that stuff at the university. The real stuff you only learn in the lab and by trail and error and lots of hard labor.
Lmao, chill out he's a kid
@@Saul1913 The thing is you could see a lot of socalled child prodigies in the internet some are genuine some are just tutored really hard in a particular subject to just graduate in that only. Ask them something even slightly out of topic that someone witha degree should know about .
They probably wouldn't know about it. Not that its the kid's faukt anyway cuz he's a kid.
This is what education should be. Lots of things we learned from primary school to high school are bunch of trashes. People need to find their interests and start their career ASAP.
No childhood for this? Not worth it In my opinion
What do you mean? He'll be able to pay his bills. That counts for a lot.
He seems happy tho.
Not that crap again 🤦🏻♀️ This is what he wants. If a child is too smart to only play with toys and wants to learn, let it learn!
“Child Hood” is dumb and overrated
I just see a kid hyped up by his parents and media. university education is not just about passing the exams. you can see in his face from the photos that this kid is just a try hard and trying to play his role. he may have exceptional intelligence but his family is just pretending and hyping him up. good decision by the university board. nothing good can come out of this kid.
Omg stfu,omg he is just a kid,r u judging him?ur hating on him?he is a KID ,he finished school in only 7 years,nothing good? Ughh what to say,i dont understand ppl these days
Lol but can he drive to McDonald's and get some chiki Tendies..... I rest my case
There's two kids in the USA that took the parents car to the store to buy some ice cream 😋😋,but they tried to out run the police on a Chase and got cout .
Caraca!
He need the doll
😲....uff, a 9 anni non sa togliersi la maglia da solo !
Stai zitto
@@clownassbish4655 qual'è il tuo problema?
@@TheGiussara =_=
IQ of 145
This is tragic!
Let's start with the basics. A 145 IQ isn't really very high. In fact at his age, it's above most people, but it's really nothing particularly special. A so called genius should be testing much higher at that age... IF YOU CONSIDER IQ AN INDICATOR OF GENIUS. It generally means you're pretty good at solving puzzles. He should not have even been tested by the age of 9... it has no value other than to put pressure on him. In the civilized world, he wouldn't eve get grades at that age... which means he wouldn't even qualify to advance grades. This is because his daddy is turning him into the nerd version of a beauty pageant baby.
Then there's the photographic memory. I will admit this is very helpful but I'd be very curious to see "how photographic" it is. A simple eidetic memory isn't uncommon at his age. But believe it or not, it doesn't really help with studying. A strong associative memory is very more useful, but that requires massive amounts of information that takes far longer than 5 years to consume with only two eyes, two ears and two hands (assuming he can read braille). What they're bragging about is probably something we all tend to see in bright children. For example, kids who can remember all the statistics of all their Pokemon cards. Sure, we'd be so much prouder of our children if they could memorize the Oxford English dictionary, but the two things are basically the same.
At 9 years old, if you want to advance a child's education, you should be signing him up for extracurricular studies and even working with the university to sponsor advanced science and engineering programs for young nerds. I attended these when I was his age at Hofstra University in New York.
Let me explain something about his degree.
Learning algebra, trig and calc to a level high enough to pass a university degree in electrical engineering can easily be done in a few months. It takes approximately 4 months of evenings and weekends to watch all Khan Academy math videos from 9th grade through multivariable calculus. You cannot in that time do all the worksheets and self-tests.I found their system to be too slow to do this with.
As for electronics engineering, you'd be absolutely shocked how low the requirements are for this kind of degree under normal circumstance. At least academically. Electronics engineering degrees gain the vast majority of their value based on the time required to complete them. See, there are A LOT of people with 145+ IQs and amazing memories etc... in the engineering departments of schools. And while I believe this boy is bright, he isn't "3 times smarter than.." as the teacher said. A very very common problem among engineering students is follow through. Every one of the brightest students in an engineering department could easily learn all this stuff from the Internet. In fact, if you visit a Makerspace, you'll find a ton of people who couldn't cut it in the university but are far brighter than the guys who did. The problem is that you need to thoroughly test their ability to follow through on projects.
A 3 year degree is excruciatingly painful to get. That's 3 whole years and you have to do this awful assignment and that awful assignment. That 3 year degree is absolutely nothing more than a test of whether you can actually sit down and do a job even if it's boring. As a matter of fact, this is why there are generally a much higher representation of women in science careers than many others. It's because boys tend to "half-ass" and rush everything. They simply don't survive the normal educational system which is designed to test their endurance.
Another really important component of the university is to learn how to work together as a team on projects. Unless they've accelerated his classmates degree programs to match his, the value is lost.
If he is studying semiconductor engineering as his focus, that's great. I love the topic. I actually enjoy doing things like designing new CPUs from scratch with unique instruction sets and characteristics for fun. But that's actually pretty easy. In fact, if you have someone to ask questions while you're learning the HDL (whether VHDL, Verilog or other), then it's not much more difficult than playing with legos. There are much harder parts to doing this stuff than that though. For example, how to get pinning on an FPGA to align with the CPU. There's also the issue of memory access... which is much much more time consuming than one year to learn... mostly due to bottlenecks in the systems, not the learner.
If a university degree could be done in 9 months, it has absolutely no value whatsoever. I have no doubt he's learned Ohm's
I would honestly consider making a case to child welfare services for abuse.
Other people are complaining "no childhood" and such. This is true. But believe it or not, the massive amount of attention the child is getting from his parents is probably more most every child wishes for. And he has nothing to compare things to about friends. Since he doesn't attend normal school, he has no idea what it means to have a friend other than mommy, daddy and the teachers enabling this crime.
His parents are destroying his future...
How could he ever go back to normal school to learn to associate with normal people... which is probably the most important part of any job?
Who could possibly employ him? He has no idea how to work as a team?
What will he do with the 10 years between his Ph.D. (which I guess he'll get in 9 months) and his 20's when he finally starts work?
How in the world could the university agree to sponsor this madness. For people who don't know how the civilized world works, it's not like the US where you can just buy your way into the university. These are government institutions and they should have never let a child be admitted and they should have never allowed him to "work towards a degree".
NoHemlockForMe totally agree
Yup
Very good. I agree
He is GENIUS and YOU ARE MORON!
Longest comment I think I’ve ever seen on youtube
Se com 9 anos ele tem 145 de QI,quando ele tiver 20 anos vai ser mais inteligente que Albert einstein
😀😀😁😂
It's funny to heard flemish in an American vidoe
He is acctualy not as smart as the media says he is
Hilarious comment given that you're FBI xD
ahA ! Photographic / Eidetic memory !
ONLY reading is enough to MEMORIZE the data and use it in the answers to questions. He is NOT STUDYING the data.
Indeed UP TO BACHELOR it is ONLY a matter of reproducing straightforward data that you learned/READ from the books.
A full university technical degree requires more TASKS solving and INDEPENDENT dissertations.
This kid WONT be able to do those tasks.
Another hint: he is BOREd on chess...and he ONLY likes "action" (=kiddies) movies..notpsychological dramas..he is NOT developed in that terrain.
OBVIOUSLY.
At best Laurent is to be compared with future artificial intelligence bots ;they can GATHER data from internet and provide numbers and data ..only REPRODUCE, but it canNOT THINK (deduce, ponder), cannot CREATE.
It takes time to mature.
So if a kid is smart, it’s impossible to still have a kid’s immaturity? Consider his age, wow
This must not be healthy for the kid long term
It's not healthy for your ego, not for the kid.
CrimsonNite The parents pulled him out of the course because they wanted to break a record for youngest graduate and the university said there wouldn’t be enough time to study properly, almost as if this whole thing was actually just about this egomaniacal parent living vicariously through his son all along
Is. Belgium. Is. Not. Nether land
Eindhoven is in the Netherlands you incompetent troglodyte.
The boy is belgian and lives and studies in the Netherlands.
it's propaganda ..
