Guilderland, New York (CNN) -- The small town which gained widespread publicity with a free-speech incident at a local mall, is now the talk of the nation again with the anticipated graduation of what some call one of the greatest philosophical minds of this century.

Look out Galileo, Newton, and Einstein, there's a new girl in town who's creating quite a stir in the scientific community with her recent ground breaking discoveries which may forever change the way we look at philosophy, cosmology, and physics.

Paige Spawn is about to graduate from the College of Saint Rose with a bachelor's degree in Philosophy. In that four years that she has studied, however, she has released many essays which are getting a lot of mixed attention from established professors around the globe. Many of Spawn's essays refute years of Physics groundwork laid out by scientists such as Albert Einstein.

"I feel confident that my newest essay on time will help researchers and scientists around the world to better understand this peculiar phenomenom" Spawn said while walking out of the Neil Hellman Library of Saint Rose with a stack of books towering over her head.

Some scientists are still hesitant to immediately accept Spawn's theories as absolute truths.

Dr. Edgar Knoblock, a Professor of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley says "The research done by Spawn is absolutely brilliant, but it would be an injustice to the scientific community as a whole to blindly accept these findings without doing a lot more research into these matters. Many of her theories challenge the greats such as Einstien."

On the other hand, some scientists are very enthusiastic. Stephen Hawking has recently denounced the book that made him famous "A Brief History of Time". Hawking is now working on the book "Time: The Spawn of New Theories". The rumor is that Hawking has asked Paige Spawn to write the forward of his new book.

Spawn's boyfriend Evan Bragg is also no stranger to the scientific community. He became famous with his discovery of the relation between volume and time, known as Bragg theory. When asked about Spawn's new found fame Bragg said "I always knew she was brilliant and that it was only a matter of time before everyone else found out. Theories are always changing in the scientific community with new discoveries happening all the time. I know some things will remain constant though. I love her."
