hey sci,

meet jake barnett a 12 year old boy. He is diagnosed with mild autism and is what many people call sauvant.

He is currently studying theoretical physics at IUPU which is some mid tier university in america so it still has pretty high standards. Apparently he is already starting to exceed what current professors can teach him and is being suggested for a research position at age 12.

Here is a link to a news story run on him:
http://www.indystar.com/article/20110320/LOCAL01/103200369

and a link to his youtube channel:
http://www.youtube.com/user/mathboysmom#p/u/1/fQl1D-AQI0E

He is currently suggesting that the speed of light or the hesienberg uncertainty principal might be wrong. Now i know this generates a lot of controversy but should we not at least have an open mind about this is that not our duty as scientists to not automatically dismiss but to be skeptical until the evidence comes out.

Also I shared this with you mainly cause i find it amazing to see such a blend of amazing high inteligence yet he seems to be functional in normal society. I definetely think his genome should be sequenced it might give some valuable insight into genes that could code for intelligence in humans.

what are your thoughts, does it also inspire you to see such an awesome display of intelligence.

The problem with people who are called 'smart' is that they set their sights way too high. They'll challenge currently held beliefs not necessarily because they may be wrong, but because they think they'll be right about anything. Take a look at that douche with a 200+ IQ, throwing away his education and trying to do some shit with binary and God. What the fuck?

Anyway, I'm generalising. I wish the kid good luck and his ideas should still be entertained as he has shown himself to be worthy of the respect.

See image. He doesn't even seem to have any working basis for his argument. He's just a guy with a high IQ who wants to tackle something extraordinary because he thinks high IQ = instant revolutionary ideas. Cross that with the fact that he's an intelligent design believer.

This child, as you've stated, is a savant. Now this is a psychological term for someone wit a mental disorder who has exceptional knowledge in a certain field. this normally includes memory, for savants are not known for their fluid memory but their crystallized memory. he is not likely able to truly process the information he remembers. Most of his theories should be taken into consideration, but not out of proportion.

Every time I see a savant or a musician or a famous physicist I get so jelly inside, I go back to cuddling with the computer in the back of the room, reading and programming as much as I can and hoping one day, one day, I might get the chance to become a posthuman, so I will finally stop being so jealous of everyone.

Well...
Everyone think the hero is great - in fact, the hero is so great that they wish they were that hero. The hero's achievements make them feel like side characters in another's story, as if their life has no weight to it.

In short, every man sees himself as the main character, and is disapointed by things that show it to be untrue.

Personally, I am not jealous of people like him...but inspired and driven to work harder to reach such a status, because if I don't all has been for naught.

>can't figure out how to pay for school
He was on scholarship at Red. Unbeknownst to him, his mother forgot to fill out a financial statement for renewing it, and by the time he found out, all the allocated scholarship money was gone. The school wouldn't do anything for him, and he was forced to take F's on his transcript for the classes he was taking at the time.

>can't drive a car
He was a commuter student at MSU, and one point during the winter, the transmission fell out of his car and he didn't have the money to get it fixed. He asked his academic advisor to switch him over to afternoon sections of his classes so he could get there by different means, and he was shot down by both him and the dean under the pretenses that his supposed failing grades at Reed didn't justify him receiving such leeway.

Autism is an impairment of social skills. People can have psychological disorders and still excel in certain areas. It's just that his psychological state is considered abnormal. Usually, this would have a large negative impact on that person's life. But his talents are so great that it'll likely not be a hindrance to him.

Having a psychological disorder isn't being broken or completely negative. It's a descriptor, based on the presence of certain symptoms. Just because you think that a person will live fine doesn't mean everything about him is normal or unimportant.

Sorry, but what he says is nonsense.

>>2744647

As a Mathematical Physics student his calculations are stupid. All he shown is basic understanding of calculus. Which, is unimpressive as I can get a ton of students that are nine who enter the IMO who show similar ability.

IUPU must be crap if they are teaching him calculus. Doesn't even understand any tensors as all his board displays is stupidness with DEs.

Also, he misunderstands what is uncertainty as he is using the classical thought experiment that uncertainty is caused by light in the measurement.

He shows willingness to learn. He might do something and his mother seems very pushy. However, Mathematical Physics and Theoretical Physics is a different ball game at the top level.

Keep in mind that he is just a kid and will be heavily influenced by his parents beliefs.

Furthermore, he is considered a savant. He probably does not have the mental capabilities of tackling the philosophical arguments surrounding God.

Having said that, it is very likely that his belief in God could be influencing his academia, so still take it with a grain of salt. Frankly until he publishes some real studies I don't give a shit about this kid.

It's nice to realize, that being an 18 years old aerospace eng. fist year student, the own thing capable of making me envy and admire someone is intelligence, and just because I'd like to be able to understand things with same ease.

It makes me realize that I find my life quite complete and that the own thing that I might find lacking sometimes can be compensated with hard work and collaboration with others who share same ideas and aspirations.

Physicsfag undergrad here(cambridge).
Yeah it's probably bollocks.
Best possible spin is he's very clever, but not very good at explaining.
His arguments are too vague, so I didn't find any obvious contradictions, but a lot of the stuff he says is nonsense.
"causes the error in the displacement...using newtonian mechanics" - there is absolutely no statistical side to Newtonian mechanics and it also has no correctish description of light to use.

His description of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is too weird, yet also too vague to say its definitely wrong.

"work-energy theorem follows from several derivatives" - the fact he didn't correct himself when he said derivatives instead of derivations suggests he's memorised a script. "applies in all cases" - doesn't in relativity, mass-energy does, could forgive this one if he is genuine but I doubt it.

there were a bunch of other things and the whole thing didn't seem right to me.

Serious query: Have any of these super-genius toddlers every really done anything revolutionary?

I had to TA for a history of technology class last term, and it seems like everything that has had any impact on our lives was the result of a collaborative or highly competitive effort from a group of above-average individuals. Geniuses, though, are kind of hard to find.

I mean, I'm SURE the kid will do more than me. But, reinventing physics? Yeah, I call shenanigans. He'll probably end up doing really solid work that will mostly only end up in specialized journals.

Anonymous Mon Mar 21 03:24:14 2011 No.2746256

He seems to making really absurd connections between formulas he's created and well known ones. Especially considering he's using e = mc^2 (shortened form).

Regardless, if he loses media coverage I'm sure he'll turn out just fine for academia, but he doesn't need a whole bunch of people telling him he's a genius for not having done anything yet. That could only hinder him.

Anonymous Mon Mar 21 03:28:14 2011 No.2746264

As far as the "re-writing" physics is concerned the kid is on the right track. He has already identified something that confuses modern physicists. He has found the limit of classical mechanics basically, and hasn't yet been taught quantum mechanics. Classical mechanics break down when examining things on a microscopic level, which is where quantum mechanics take over and can be used to accurately describe most if not all known occurrences at that scale.

I personally feel like their should be a unified theory bridging the two. Contradictions don't make sense. I feel like the current separation between the two is probably a product of some error in the way we view the natural world from a mathematical stand point.

So maybe in a few years when the kid learns quantum he'll put it all together and fix something that has been broken since Einstein came in and facerolled astrophysics

I think string theory is some math with a lot of conjecture. They see patterns or equations for which they have no observed correlation in the natural world so all of the sudden there's 11 dimensions, and parallel universes. It's theoretical physicists getting tired of turning their wheels and going no where so they assembled a bunch of ridiculous assumptions just so they can say, "Hey look we're finally getting somewhere."

String theory is a bunch of impractical bullshit, that won't get corrected until hundreds of years down the line, and these scientists know and exploit that fact. No one can prove they're wrong so they'll just keep pulling shit out their ass until someone smarter comes along and smites them with their hammer of divinity.

"For example, Jake often recited the alphabet -- forward and then backward. He used Q-tips to create vivid geometrical shapes on the living room floor. He solved 5,000-piece puzzles (rather quickly). And he once soaked in a state road map and ended up memorizing every highway and license plate prefix.

And perhaps most amazingly, he could recite the mathematical constant pi out to 70 digits.

"I'm at 98 now," Jake said, interrupting his mom during an interview.

And then, a week later, he was up to 200 digits after the decimal point -- forward and backward."

Regurgitation of information is merely the ability to retain and call it up at will.

Can he UNDERSTAND any of this information and apply it to science? If he doesn't have some weird personality snap and just lose it I wonder where he will end up in his 20s.

So let's review all the facts:

- he's been diagnosed as autistic, been doing some therapy and is improving enough to be socially functional

- his autistic traits make him more apt to memorise lots of data

- he is currently tutoring some college students (?)

- he hasn't published anything or officially submitted a theory or solution to a problem.

I don't see where the fuss is. Probably there are thousands of kids like him on this planet, but they're not advertising themselves on youtube. And there may have been also more we never heard of.

To me, he looks surely more intelligent than most of his age, but doesn't look very happy. We'll see how he survives the hormonal activation of the brain in a few years. If it makes him stronger, he might achieve something of note, if not he might join the long succession of childhood prodigies who eventually settled down to live an ordinary life, while continuing to display the shadow of their skills to anyone who gave them a beer, for a short distraction.

I've seen a similar case in a village in a poor country, where a young guy was able to make mental computations with large numbers faster than a computer. He was the local big sensation and was doing it for free drinks.

1st off.
At the age of 12, ANY of you understood math/physics at this level?
No.
He's ONLY twelve.
Its too early to tell.
If he does anything original it will be after at least 16-17 years old.

This is the usual pattern of all geniuses ever lived.

He might be excited and wrong but that doesnt mean anything, in few years he might find something extraordinary.
Or just end up as a nutjob.
Like all 200IQ did before him
Yes, Langan and Kim (200IQs) ended up doing nothing, Kim was decleared a "failed" genius in his country, and currently working as a normal employ in a shit company in Korea.
Its JUST IQ.
But this kid is quite different than others.
Plus HE IS NOT AUTISTIC, OP is misinformed.
He had a mild autism(which was bullshit cause he was JUST socially awkward and nothing more, which he overcame, and NOW HE IS NORMAL, NO MORE AUTISM).
Currently he's just a very smart kid.

Ok listen cryfags.
Prodigies have NOTHING on average smart people.
How?
Look at all evidence.
Most 'geniuses' do nothing in the end, they fail, just stupid ideas and they are forgotten.
For example, Feynman had IQ of 12X tier and yet he's imba, his logic was more solid than of 200's IQs.

IQ tests measure some specific things, not creativity,or out of the box thinking etc which is the reason why we have technology.

Just being a human calculator/harddiskMemory puts you to a ...calculator/harddiskMemory tier.
And thats all, they are completely useless in science and actually intelligence-wise, they can learn what already been discovered but they wont find anything new.

All those geniuses who solve calculus and know 6 languages at 4yo do nothing in later life or even if they try they can't.
Einstein COULDN'T SPEAK at the age of 4, yet he is the symbol of genius, the most celebrated scientist.

Creativity/Innovation/Out of the box (which is actually imagination WITH logic=creativity), thats the major thing that makes scientific breakthroughs, not high grades or any of that stupid stuff.

Child prodigies= early/faster development, they dont get any smarter.
Unlike the rest of smart people they just do it slowly, but they reach the same level in adulthood.
Tao is on of the people that had both high IQ and creativity, it happens, but 99% of prodigies are just garbage that have shitloads of development at early age, thats all.

>A prime number is a number, such as three, five, or seven, that can only be divided by itself and one. Professor Tao was recognised for his work in researching prime number sequences, a series of prime numbers that are evenly spaced. For example, 5, 17, 29, 41, and 53 is a sequence of five prime numbers. (The sequence ends at 53 because 65 is not a prime number).

Hard work such as...?

You are ALLERGIC to this question, aren't you. You're just jumping all around it. You're fucking like... playing hopscotch around it. You've polevaulted straight over the question and won a gold medal for your country in uncomfortable-question-dodging.

Yes, I realize he must have put in lots of work to get his doctorate. WORK SUCH AS...? If you can't say what he actually DID to earn his doctorate, then it's meaningless. If you can't say what he actually DID to earn that Field's Medal, then it's meaningless. You can't just say "he must have done something cool to earn that medal, they only give that medal to cool people." That's circular logic.

...I just thought of something. Why are we even discussing this? I've asked you what is so special about this guy, and nobody's given me an answer. It's obvious you don't actually know anything about the guy. Why are you defending him? Why do you even like him? YOU CAN'T NAME A SINGLE THING HE'S DONE.

He and another mathematician also improved work on the Kakeya conjecture and wave maps.

His prime number research(the Green-Tao theorem) was in conjunction with Ben Green.

He has something called the Tao's Inequality, which relates to information theory.

The Green-Tao theorem is the "big" thing.

This happened to me. I swear to god, if I knew, I'd cut my balls off.

Although, I lived in shit tier town, with shit tier library (no internet for me back then) and parents worried about his son's activities. I knew helluva lot about mechanics, astronomy and shit, but it was too late when I got the internet and started learning quantum mechanics and other things.

18 now, will most likely study math, but I know that I'm zero compared to what I've been before puberty.

> the hesienberg uncertainty principal might be wrong

The Heisenberg "principle" arises only due to certain interpretations of QM. If you don´t try to force old concepts like waves etc. onto what QM teaches, these uncertainty principles would not come to life.

He should have known that.

"Otherwise, the carbon would have to be coming out of the stars and hence the Earth, made mostly of carbon, we wouldn't be here. So I calculated, the time it would take to create 2 percent of the carbon in the universe, it would actually have to be several micro-seconds. Or a couple of nano-seconds, or something like that. An extremely small period of time. Like faster than a snap. That isn't gonna happen."

>"Otherwise, the carbon would have to be coming out of the stars and hence the Earth, made mostly of carbon, we wouldn't be here.

What does that even mean? The Earth isn't even close to 'mostly carbon.' Does he mean humans? We aren't mostly carbon either.

I just skimmed the article but I see nothing impressive.

Yes, but I hope that they don't raise him to be too sheltered and spoilt. They should make sure he spends time socializing with friends and has spare time to chillax with his bros playing COD4, skateboarding or going to see a football game and generally being an annoying 13 year old.

have you watched his first video?

Interesting thoughts, but they´re not coming from a profound understanding of physics, but rather from applying equations that have the parameters he needs in order to solve the problem (what most pupils do).

i don´t know about this, man...
