Another anchor baby.
Deport him!

But can he do a brake job, or install that mini-split air conditioner in the picture?

Memorizing the periodic table is pointless; understanding the basis of the periodic table is what matters. Think of all the jokers who have memorized the Koran, but fail to appreciate where it leads.
The guy in question may be a really sharp cookie, but the author of the headline is likely pretty clueless.
This poor kid likely has zero social skills and after attaining several doctoral degrees, he will likely end up living in his parents basement playing play station.
More power to him. We are all created unique. I like the picture shown. It says something.
Good for him.
Not everybody is capable of graduating high school, from grade 1 in four years. However, I do think that it does show the traditional route that we do use is woefully time laden to ensure everybody graduates at the same time instead of according to their ability to take in the information.
I think everybody could learn a 1950’s curriculum by the time they were 14 years or so, leaving the ability to earn a journeyman’s ticket or bachelor diploma by the time they are 18.
I didn’t even know what the periodic table was when I was two. And there were probably only 50 or 60 elements in the table then.
Sad. Let him be a kid.
When I was younger I was also 2, just like this kid.
Good for the kid....media always reporting these child prodigies, but I am not sure if they always pan out...
He may have photographic memory, or hyperthymesia memory or semantic memory...so we are just hearing about that skill...how it integrates into his life and accomplishments is yet to be discovered.
It seems that John von Neumann might have been reincarnated. If so, I’m glad that he came back as an American.
Best wishes to him and his family. Learning math and physics is a good thing. And of course, learning math and physics is not the only good thing.
Memorized the Periodic Table at two? Hard to believe.
Umm, New York? Another life lost.
Young Sheldon in real life. Congrats to him.
The only thing he is going to learn there is how to be a very bad person.
Kudos, little man, if you weren’t just singing the Tom Lehrer song.
