Sabrina Pasterski built a plane at 12, rejected NASA, now called the next Einstein

Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski, a theoretical physicist, gained recognition for building and flying a single-engine aircraft at age 14. She graduated from MIT with a perfect GPA, became the first woman in over two decades to top the physics department, and earned the Orloff Scholarship. Her research on the spin memory effect, conducted under physicist Andrew Strominger at Harvard, was cited by Stephen Hawking in his final works. Despite offers from NASA, Blue Origin, and a $1.1 million academic position, Pasterski chose to pursue fundamental questions in physics, particularly how gravity operates at the quantum level. She is often described as the 'next Einstein' due to her contributions to unresolved issues in theoretical physics.
