All these points listed above might make one lean towards thinking that the possibility of cheating exists, but i know that in a single planet start game i will have 50k+ research points before turn 40. And if i wasnt building up my minerals and military infrastructure i could probably have close to 100k by turn 40.

Thru a combination of a few lucky ruins and a determined research focus on the technologies you have listed him as having it might be possible to get that level of technology that early in the game.

And as PvK said any ai takeovers are a bonus to all your resource production. If he has taken over a few of the nearest neighbours he could have huge research production by now (approaching 150k possibly)
