For her to be next Einstein, she would have to revolutionize physics somehow. Even then, it would be questionable, because she already seems to be acknowledged by the physics world, whereas Einstein was relegated to working in a patent office rather than academia when he made his discoveries. She sounds super-cool and smart, but the Einstein comparison is just weird. Also there are probably many other smart kids in physics, too.

The wider public tends to love the idea of comparing smart people to Einstein...I wouldn't think much on the comparison except that it is a statement that she is unusually smart.

  > I wouldn't think much on the comparison except that it is a statement that she is unusually smart. Well according to the article, it's Harvard University representatives making that assertion. They would obviously know better than to make statements like that casually.
