At the age of 7, Taylor Wilson memorized all the missiles manufactured by the US and the Soviet Union in 1930. At the age of 11 Taylor joined uranium mining with her father in the New Mexico desert and bought a plutonium. At the age of 14, Wilson became the youngest person in the world to build a nuclear fusion reactor.

"I am obsessed with nuclear research, I don't understand why," Taylor Wilson said. "Perhaps because of the power in each atom that we cannot see, a power cannot be contained."

Wilson is the youngest person in the world to create thermonuclear energy and the 31st person creates this energy as an individual rather than a person working in government or in this industry.
