Nobody’s Fool: Taylor Wilson

Nobody’s Fool or….Nobody Gets Email:

He was just a kid when he started, but not since Edison and Tesla has a young man come about with such great potential.

Taylor Wilson: Remember that name. I’d never heard of him before I got this email:

Taylor Wilson garnered international attention from the science world in 2008 when he became the youngest person in history to produce nuclear fusion at just 14 years old, building a reactor capable of smashing atoms in a plasma core at over 500 million degrees Fahrenheit – 40 times hotter than the core of the sun – in his parents’ garage. And this all happened after he built a bomb at the age of 10. As a child in Texarkana, Arkansas, Taylor became infatuated with nuclear science after trysts with biology, genetics and chemistry. At age 11, while his classmates were playing with Easy-Bake Ovens, Wilson was taking his crack at building a particle accelerator in an effort to makes homemade radioisotopes.

And he did it all by himself. He skipped college, thank GOD that he did, because they would have only damaged him and wasted his time.

He’s 23 now, and let’s hope they let him soar….so…read the rest of his fascinating story here.

And Yes! Congratulations Taylor Wilson! You win the Nobody’s Fool Award for giving this nobody hopes for the next generation after us.

Move over all you tech guru’s: Taylor will be schooling YOU soon enough.

(Thanks to ‘g’ man.)
