Three Prodigies at 24: McCartney, Marta, and Scholze
At the age of 24, three individuals made significant impacts in their respective fields, leaving indelible marks on music, sports, and mathematics.
In the world of popular music, Paul McCartney, a member of the legendary band The Beatles, was at the height of his creativity. Born in 1942, McCartney would have been 24 in 1966, a year that saw the release of multiple influential albums by the band. During this time, McCartney was a key songwriter and performer for The Beatles, co-writing many of their hits and helping to transform popular music into a creative art form. One of his notable compositions during this period was "When I'm Sixty-Four," a song about retirement by the fireplace and in the garden.
Meanwhile, in the realm of sports, Marta Vieira da Silva, commonly known as Marta, was already a highly acclaimed professional footballer by the age of 24. Born in 1986, she would have been 24 in 2010. By then, she had won multiple FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year awards and was widely regarded as one of the greatest female footballers of all time. She was active internationally and at the club level, showcasing exceptional skill and leadership in women’s football. In fact, at the age of 24, she was named FIFA World Player of the Year for the fifth consecutive time, a remarkable achievement in the sport.
In the realm of mathematics, Peter Scholze, a German mathematician born in 1987, was making rapid advances in arithmetic geometry. By the age of 24 (around 2011), he had already made a name for himself as a prodigy in the field. His groundbreaking work on perfectoid spaces was recognized soon after, earning him prestigious awards such as the Clay Research Award in 2012. At this time, he was also appointed as Germany's youngest professor.
These achievements highlight the early significant impact these individuals had in their respective fields. McCartney, with The Beatles, was transforming popular music, Marta was revolutionizing women's football, and Scholze was making groundbreaking contributions to mathematics.
As of mid-2024, Scholze remains the youngest Fields Medal laureate, an honor that is comparable in prestige to the Nobel Prize in his field. In December 2022, Paul McCartney, now 82 years old, performed on stage with Ringo Starr, another former member of The Beatles. Despite his age, McCartney continues to tour, showcasing the enduring impact of his contributions to music.
