*Einstein produced his magnum opus when he was 26.
*Terence Tao produced his best work in his late 20s and early 30s (he is 39 now and no longer draws attention for his work)
*Christopher Hirata (PhD, CalTech) is currently producing renowned scholarly work in astrophysics at the mere age of 33.
~~~
Law, conversely, is dominated by older men.
*HLS Professor Emeritus, Alan Dershowitz, was regularly criticized by his teachers at Yeshiva University High School. They called into question Prof. Dershowitz's aptitude for higher education, conspicuously recommending him to the pursuit of blue-collar work, e.g., a salesperson at a clothing store. Even more striking was Prof. Dershowitz's diciplinary problem that almost prevented him from matriculating at Brooklyn College where he earned his A. B. in 1959. Yet he graduated first in his class from YLS where he served as editor-in-chief of the prestigious Yale Law Review. Now he is regarded as one of the brightest legal scholars in the academy, and is deemed one of the most distinguished lawyers of the 21st century.
*SCOTUS Associate Justice & first African-American justice, Thurgood Marshall, received middling grades in high school. Like Prof. Alan Dershowitz, he too had diciplinary problems; his hazing and pulling pranks on fellow students got him suspended several times from high school. Thurgood Marshall ended up winning 29 out of 32 cases he argued before SCOTUS--a remarkable feat considering SCOTUS evaluates arguments objectively.
*Mitt Romney, co-founder of the prestigious investment firm, Bain Capital, never distinguished himself academically at his elite boys preparatory academy, Cranbrook School. Fellow classmate Jim Bailey remarks, "He was in many ways the antithesis of what he's portrayed as today." Like Associate Justice Thurgood Marshall, Mitt Romney loved pulling pranks on his classmates. Edmund White, a fellow classmate of Romney at Cranbrook School, gave an account of Romney's behavior in a New Yorker article. Mr White affirmed Romney's role as a 'prankster,' saying "He was considered a class clown, always up to rather cruel pranks." It is alleged, moreover, that Romney taunted a boy who he perceived as gay by forcefully cutting off his long, bleached-blond hair. Although Romney secured admission at the coveted Silicon Valley undergraduate school, Stanford, his admittance is very likely to have been attributed to his father, George Romney, who leveraged his status as a staunch Republican governor of Michigan to persuade Stanford to admit his son. After all, George Romney had strong ties to the thinkers at Stanford's Hoover Institution.
Mitt Romney ended up graduating cum laude from HLS, as well as from HBS who named him a Baker Scholar (top 5% of HBS).

Discovery is generally a young mans game. I think there is a certain element of the frog in boiling water parable at play.
Its the same reason when I was 10 years old I knew Mark McGwire was on steroids yet Bob Costas and Peter Gammons were shocked despite being baseball experts interacting with players every day. It's more readily apparent to a 10 year old that humans aren't supposed to look like that.

Because once you get married and have kids you stop trying to set the world on fire.
I saw a study once where a scientist's age at the time of their greatest discovery was correlated with the age at which they got married. Basically we only do work to get laid.
