Jacob Barnett, 12-year Old Wonder Boy, Has Higher IQ Than Einstein
Jacob Barnett whose IQ is 170 – higher than Albert Einstein’s – has progressed much more than his fellow University students (!).
His professors are already thinking of enrolling him on a graduate course.
The wonder boy who learned algebra, geometry and trigonometry in just one week, is giving lectures to his classmates after attending classes, while he has already started a very ambitious project; he aims to create his own expanded theory of relativity.
Jacob Barnett’s mother who didn’t know if her child was stupid or a genious, sent a video with his theory of relativity to Princeton University.
Well reknowned astrophysics professor Scott Tremaine, confirmed the accuracy of Jacob Barnett’s theory. He said that the theory the 12-year-old is working on contains some of the toughest astrophysics and theoretical physics problems. Whoever manages to solve them will be a Nobel prize candidate.
Jacob Barnett was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a mild form of autism, at a very young age. His parents worried about him because he hadn’t spoken until he was 2 years old. While he was growing up however, they realized that he had a special gift.
Jacob Barnett would fill whole notebooks with complex geometric shapes, calculations and equations. When he was 3, he was able to complete a 5,000 piece puzzle, while he would study road maps and memorize all the roads.
When Jacob Barnett was 8, he graduated from high school and took astrophysics classes at Indiana University. His presence there initially confused many of his 18 year old classmates. Nowadays however, many are those that ask for his help with their physics problems.
Even though most people think that it is very hard to understand a genious, Jacob Barnett explains physics to his classmates in the simplest possible way.
Professor John Ross stated that Jacob Barnett’s abilities and his gift for transmitting knowledge during his lectures, are amazing.
According to his parents, Jacob Barnett has trouble sleeping at night, as he constantly dreams about numbers. Instead of complaining, the kid takes advantage of his many sleepless nights and studies the Big Bang Theory.
According to professor Ross, the next step for Jacob Barnett would be to stop taking classes and occupy a paid research post.

A child likely destined to have no childhood. A mixed blessing, I expect.

I would have agree with David...I don't know if it would be a blessing or not to have a child who is a genius...Thanks for sharing....
