??? Alright, my bad then. However, that's still more than ten, and making a functioning cure requires more of more complicated know-how, time and study than designing a robot.
indeed. I think the guy who designed the proteinbased strip for recognizing cancer in the US was 15 when he won the prize for his method (way more effective than before and way cheaper). But then who knows where humanity will go during the next few years...
It does not say that Brook acted entirely on his own though. Also at the age of ten he could have found out about the government as source of the disease because maybe his childish naivity did not allow fear of a government. If he really "learned" about corruption or just learned that trusted people cause suffering is another matter though.
If he was too naive to be afraid of the government he never would have experienced corruption as the cause of adults being not trustworthy because that requires a theory of mind level that would cause fear of your government.
eh the robot acutally identified balls by colour in different shades of light and thus shortened work processes
that is still not curing a disease but to know about that stuff, design, built it and use the right colour identifying software is really awesome. Though that is one of those projects the industries will never buy and actually use.
