Reminds me of Rocky from Project Hail Mary (sort of, they didn't live under ocean but under an extremely hostile-to-us atmosphere).
That moment where he learns about relativity is so cute. I should read the book again soon.
His initial reaction was hilariously understandable - a huge WTF? But then being a rational being with super human computational ability he started to realize that it fits all the observations.
...and then he got hit by quantum mechanics off-screen.
Yeah, that was my first thought to.
