I'm writing a supervillian origin story. How would one best go about burning down an abandon building?

okay look, from your layman's understanding, and thus incorrect, of black holes, I simply cannot take you seriously.

You are of the category "dancing Asuka-rex on Yotsuba's back" to me at this moment

I've been interested in the possible (at least loose) connection between the brain structure abnormalities found within autistic savants and seeing if they compare with the probably abnormal brain structure of those with prodigious cognitive function.

Also, OP may be exaggerating or flat out lying about Neumann being able to memorize "pages on sight" and divide "8 digit numbers in his head".

Besides, personal accounts (especially when they must draw upon very distant memories) are almost never accurate.

Even the most profound geniuses (one in millions) don't have supposed cognitive capacities to memorize hundreds of variables with such pace...and if they do, they're simple savants.

OP is a fag.

Because people are crazy.

Repeat after me.

People. Are. Crazy.

What do you think is the scientific plausibility of ESP? Of human precognitive (i think that's the correct word) abilities, things like future predictions? What about mind reading or the ability to contact to people through the mind (i forgot the word)? Or what about more advanced things, like telekinesis, psychokinesis, and other related abilities? Do you think we, as humans, have the potential for such things? Or that we can develop ways to use abilities like this?

I'm very intrigued by the scientific side of this, as opposed to the paranormal aspect, and I'd like to discuss it.
