Meet Sabrina Pasterski, A Theoretical Physicist Who Mastered How To Build Airplane Engine At 14


Sabrina Pasterski, according to Wikipedia, is an American theoretical physicist from Chicago who studies high energy physics. She is a genius. She has proved to be so in many of her exploits in her field.

Born 3 June, 1993, Sabrina Pasterski has a doctorate in Physics and is currently impressing with her studies of black holes.

At age 14, she had already mastered how to build an airplane engine. Becoming the youngest person ever to travel in a plane she built herself. 

Sabrina Pasterski completed her PhD program from Harvard and studies one of the most challenging subjects in Physics: black holes, the nature of gravity and space-time. The way she approaches the subject has led university institutions to claim that they are working with a "new Einstein".

In 2013, she was the first woman in two decades to graduate from MIT with a degree in Physics at the top of her class.

Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, is said to have, at a time, invited Sabrina Pasterski to work at "Blue Origin", an astronaut company that he owns. According to him, "she would work wherever she wants, it's important that she has that mindset". NASA was said to have also made a similar proposal to her.

But she turned down both companies, saying that she wants to focus on her scientific work for now without any pressure.

Sabrina Pasterski was born in Chicago, to an American father and a Cuban mother. She attended a school for super-intelligent children.
