Jacob Barnett got a bachelor's degree in only one semester, after taking many more classes at once than most people can handle and getting straight A's in them.

If Jacob Barnett isn't all that smart, then why could he complete college so quickly and at such a young age when you couldn't?

100 years from now, the name Jacob Barnett will be synonymous with "genius"

Instead of saying "You don't have to be Einstein to figure XYZ out." people will say "You don't have to be a Jacob Barnett to figure XYZ out."

How does this make you feel?

What are your thoughts on his superior intellect?

21. Unlike most well-tested fundamental physical theories, the theory of relativity violates conditions of a conservative field. Path independence, for example, is lacking under the theory of relativity, as in the "twin paradox" whereby the age of each twin under the theory is dependent on the path he traveled.
22. The Ehrenfest Paradox: Consider a spinning hoop, where the tangential velocity is near the speed of light. In this case, the circumference (2πR) is length-contracted. However, since R is always perpendicular to the motion, it is not contracted. This leads to an apparent paradox: does the radius of the accelerating hoop equal R, or is it less than R?
23. The Twin Paradox: Consider twins who are separated with one traveling at a very high speed such that his "clock" (age) slows down, so that when he returns he has a younger age than the twin; this violates Relativity because both twins should expect the other to be younger, if motion is relative. Einstein himself admitted that this contradicts Relativity.
24. Relativity predicted that clocks at the Earth's equator would be slower than clocks at the North Pole, due to different velocities; in fact, all clocks at sea level measure time at the same rate, and Relativists made new assumptions about the Earth's shape to justify this contradiction of the theory.
25. Relativity claims the aether does not exist, but in order to make subatomic physics work right, theorists had to introduce the aether-like concept of the Higgs field, which fills all of space and breaks symmetries.

This kids a scam, wears ear pieces during his talks and doesn't really attend college.
