\"I want to be able to replace as many body parts as possible with mechanical parts.\"Getting Knowledge<\/p>\n
A 11-year-old boy from Belgium just graduated from the University of Antwerp with a bachelors degree in physics, local newspaper De Telegraaf reports and with the highest distinction.<\/p>\n
I dont really care if Im the youngest, Laurent Simons told the newspaper, as translated by Newsweek.Its all about getting knowledge for me.<\/p>\n
Its an astonishing achievement and in an eyebrow-raising twist, Simons says he plans to live forever, by turning himself into a cyborg.<\/p>\n
It sounds like Simons has thought out his plan.<\/p>\n
This is the first puzzle piece in my goal of replacing body parts with mechanical parts, Simons told De Telegraaf, adding that his goal is immortality.<\/p>\n
I want to be able to replace as many body parts as possible with mechanical parts, he added. Ive mapped out a path to get there. You can see it as a big puzzle.<\/p>\n
To get started on his big puzzle a far cry from the jigsaw ones being put together by other children in his age group Simons is next looking to study quantum physics.<\/p>\n
Two things are important in such a study: acquiring knowledge and applying that knowledge, Simons told the newspaper. 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.<\/p>\n
Simons is only getting started in his studies.<\/p>\n
This year, he also took some courses from the masters program. After the summer, he will officially start his masters degree, a spokesperson from the University of Antwerp told De Telegraaf.<\/p>\n
