12 year old boy with higher IQ than Einstein develops his own theory of relativity

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1369595/Jacob-Barnett-12-higher-IQ-Einstein-develops-theory-relativity.html

Tl;dr: He's 12, has Aspergers and with it an IQ of 170. He taught himself calculus, algebra, geometry and trigonometry in a week, is about to finish University and has been lined up to do research for a PhD.

Oh and another small thing; he has his own expanded version of Einstein's theory of relativity...

Lol so many negs... Do I smell jealousy TSR? :rolleyes:

Atleast we're not losers. :smile:

That's Aspergers for you. A lot of child prodigies are socially stunted, not that it makes his achievements any less impressive.

:zomg:

:hmmm:

So sad that he hasn't known what its like to have a normal, fun, carefree childhood.

I only took one thing away from that story and that video.

Freud would have a field day with the replies in this topic.
