If you’ve ever perused child actor/rapper Jaden Smith’s Twitter page, then hearing that the modern-day ‘Galileo’ apparently wants to release his own philosophy book won’t come as much of a surprise.

Smith, who has blessed the world with such iconic Twitter gems as ‘Going Through Customs Even Though I Was Born On This Planet’, ‘How Can Mirrors Be Real If Our Eyes Aren’t Real’, and ‘Most Trees Are Blue’, clearly has a lot of deep musings going on inside that head of his.

“Jaden sees himself as a modern-day prophet and is working on a collection of essays,” a friend told the newest issue of Us Weekly. “They’re new takes on string theory and chaos theory, but more mystical.”

Smith is also apparently getting some out-of-this-world assistance in the writing of the book, with his friend saying “Jaden thinks he has spiritual ties to people in other dimensions and galaxies, and they are helping him write.”

If these rumours are true, we will be eagerly awaiting the release of the book from the guy who once told GQ magazine “I don’t think I’m as revolutionary as Ga­li­leo. But I don’t think I’m not as revolutionary as Galileo.”
