12 year old boy with higher IQ than Einstein developing his own theory of relativity
quote:
A 12-year-old child prodigy has astounded university professors after grappling with some of the most advanced concepts in mathematics. Jacob Barnett has an IQ of 170 - higher than Albert Einstein - and is now so far advanced in his Indiana university studies that professors are lining him up for a PHD research role. The boy wonder, who taught himself calculus, algebra, geometry and trigonometry in a week, is now tutoring fellow college classmates after hours. And now Jake has embarked on his most ambitious project yet - his own 'expanded version of Einstein's theory of relativity'. According to the Indiana Star, Institute astrophysics professor Scott Tremaine -himself a world renowned expert - confirmed the authenticity of Jake's theory. Jake was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome, a mild form of autism, from an early age.
Didn't know Jennypie owned a cat... So, that's what she meant by saying that she wants to stop shaving her pussy! No wonder, must freak poor kitty out!

And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

There was a 12 year old in my undergraduate physics course at Purdue and for most tests the average was around 40% with one person scoring 100%. We all knew it was him, and we all felt like dumbasses. Anyways, that's really cool the kid was lucky that his mother took the initiative to contact Princeton. I was teaching a first grader who was absolutely brilliant, he picked up Japanese by watching hello kitty in a couple of weeks, could draw anything in perfect 3-d, but his main teacher and parents were too stupid to even realize what he was doing was exceptional. I'm still trying to get one of his parents to pick up the phone so that I can schedule him for an IQ test and get him into an accelerated program.

Seems strange that there are quite a few young kids with an exceptional grasp on maths/physics...and not other subjects.
