>>You should instead apply for a PhD in astrophysics at MIT or something and start contributing to mankind... I think that is horrible advise. They will pay you peanuts and abuse you. Instead go found a startup and make lots of money. Then you can fund interesting research that contributes to humanity, if you want. Or you could get a PhD once you've gotten your money. This is all assuming that said person is a genius, of course. Otherwise disregard this advise.
