        <description><![CDATA[I myself am no genius, far from it, with an IQ of around 126.  With that said I cared less about high school, it was boring to me.  Then after three years out of school I decided to attend college.  Only being a C-student at best in High school, with a few &quot;Fs&quot;, hence, I knew I really didn't know how to study.  So, as after I enrolled (on probation) at the local community college, I decided to grab a bunch of used college texts to get started.  As I did so I made certain that the books I chose were that of &quot;smart females&quot; -- I figured they knew how to study the best, and they did!  I learned their techniques and soon found myself (with tape recorder in hand) focusing on each class, then re-writing my notes later in the evening.  In sum, my first two years at the local college put me on the Dean's List, then after graduation I was offered a partial scholarship at a private 4-year institution in north east Ohio.  All said and done I ended up with an AAB, BSBA, and an MBA in executive management.  I say all this, because for me it was NURTURE.  As with Einstein I believe it was both nurture and nature.  Let me add this, I also believe it's the way we are wired -- some folks love math, others hate it, and on it goes.  Why?  Nature and wiring I say, and of course it doesn't hurt to have a math freak coaxing you along.  What about autism?  I find it fascinating that Issac Newton was partially autistic?  Hence, he used more of parts of his brain very effectively (way above average compared to you or me) however he lacked very highly in other areas, one of them being &quot;social&quot;.  He would be called today somewhat of a &quot;freak&quot;, &quot;loner&quot;, &quot;one of those weird book freaks with no life&quot;, etc.  But, that's the way it goes.  After all, I've never seen a dentist who was able to hit a three point shot on a basketball court, or was a successful comic?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There's a certain amount of controversy over whether or not Einstein's brain was removed with the permission of his family or the wishes of Einstein himself.I recently saw a documentary on brain structure that included a look at Einstein's brain. According to one neuroscientist, he had a convolution loop on his upper right hemisphere that is found on people with musical talent.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Looking around at our run amok world, I would bet that brains like Albert Einstein's are indeed rarer than hen's teeth or even frog hair, while the ones that end up in jars marked &quot;Abby Normal&quot; must abound!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I don't quite understand your post, Ted, but I do know that many of Einstein's theories have been verified by modern science.  However, Al failed miserably at unifying his contribution to physics with those that followed in the field of quantum physics.  A unified field theory (aka &quot;theory of everything&quot;) eludes physicists to this day.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[What Eistein accomplished is no more fantastic than what a passionate CHESS player's brain would look like.  When we become PASSIONATE about what we love, then to the frontal lobes it goes.  It works for Ghandis as well as for Hitlers.  I'm sure that if Hitler's brain would have been sliced and diced, they'd find the same thing as true, a highly developed frontal lobe area.  The words of Jesus, &quot;Ask and you shall receive&quot; holds true here.  The question is, what are we asking for?  Or better said, what are we passionate about, because, to the frontal lobes it will go to work out all the details for manifestation.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Besides being 'the old guy' who appears to have had time with Marilyn Monroe (lucky bastard) he came up with a theory on relativity and said theory remains stuck as theory but it has not yet risen from theory to fact or has it become a fact and is no longer a theory?  If it is now fact then where is the pic of those old guys (whom I assume never even met Marilyn Monroe) and their book THE FACT OF RELATIVITY?  Inquiring minds want to know.]]></description>
