karmakramer Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 http://www.theblaze.com/stories/a-beautiful-mind-12-year-old-boy-genius-sets-out-to-disprove-big-bang/ Quote At 12-years-old, Jacob Barnett is a genius. He’s already in college, his IQ is higher than Einstein’s, and for fun he‘s working on an expanded version of that man’s theory of relativity. So far, the signs are good. Professors are astounded. So what else does a boy genius with vast brilliance do in his free time? Disprove the big bang, of course. For a minute, just a minute, try and follow his logic. He explained his thinking recently to the Indianapolis Star: “There are two different types of when stars end. When the little stars die, it’s just like a small poof. They just turn into a planetary nebula. But the big ones, above 1.4 solar masses, blow up in one giant explosion, a supernova,” Jake said. “What it does, is, in larger stars there is a larger mass, and it can fuse higher elements because it’s more dense.” OK . . . trying to follow you. “So you get all the elements, all the different materials, from those bigger stars. The little stars, they just make hydrogen and helium, and when they blow up, all the carbon that remains in them is just in the white dwarf; it never really comes off. “So, um, in the big-bang theory, what they do is, there is this big explosion and there is all this temperature going off and the temperature decreases really rapidly because it’s really big. The other day I calculated, they have this period where they suppose the hydrogen and helium were created, and, um, I don’t care about the hydrogen and helium, but I thought, wouldn’t there have to be some sort of carbon?” Quote “In one two-week period, he sat on our front porch and learned all of his high school math,” Kristine told the Star. “He tested out of algebra 1 and 2, geometry, trigonometry and calculus.” Quote At eight, Jacob enrolled at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and was taking advanced astrophysics classes. According to one of his professors there, he‘s the most brilliant student he’s seen. more at link..

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!

Guest Tamas Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 There was a kid who looked just like that in my highschool, was really annoying, he may have had decent knowledge of high level math but he certainly didn't have any social skills. And that theory to disprove the big bang is worse (and less entertaining) than something that someone who's stoned would come up with!!

Guest Al5x Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) I enjoy that some of you are scrutinizing the character of a 12 year old who you don't know. How bitter must a man be if all he can see in a genius child is his own wasted potential? If I knew you guys irl I'd love to give you bear hugs and cry it out. Anyway a lot of the time these are the people that move society forward in leaps and bounds and I'm very grateful that he is a part of our race (even if his theory is shit but hey he's got time right? lol). We need more of this.
