What does /sci/ think of Jacob Barnett?

In case you didn't know he is 12 years old and has proven string theory to be correct.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 27 12:00:32 2012 No.4511531 He seems to have mathematical prowess that I am envious of. He hasn't proven shit though and this is old news.

>>4511549

why the fuck does he write on the windows. has to be a media stunt. could easily just use paper and pencil, or erase the white board and start afresh. or computer.
my general thoughts on the kid is i'm happy a genius has been publicized. gonna check up on this guy throughout my life, my money is that he goes full autist and completely off the rails like so many before him.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 27 12:20:56 2012 No.4511587 >>4511581 Prove that you can.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 27 12:21:05 2012 No.4511589 >>4511581 You've got reductio ad absurdum, which is useful. But you can't support a theory that way - only show that it's self-contradictory (if you can find a contradiction).

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 27 12:23:23 2012 No.4511597 >>4511589 Prove it.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 27 12:26:37 2012 No.4511606 >>4511566 >implying he doesn't back his shit up with experiments

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 27 12:29:01 2012 No.4511623 >>4511606 For some reason I find that funny. I can just see that kid building particle accelerators, and experimenting with bose einstein condensates in his back yard trying to prove string theory.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 27 12:31:09 2012 No.4511626 >>4511623 >trying to prove >implying he hasn't already proven it keep crying bitch nigga
