What would you do if you had the brain power of Jacob Barnett?

Teach yourself calculus like it's no big deal?
Get straight A's in college and complete a 4 year bachelor's degree in 1 semester?
Master and develop a deep understanding of Laws of Quantum Physics that only you can fully understand because only your IQ is the only IQ high enough?
Shatter the scientific community, proving they were wrong about the theory of relativity?

I'll elaborate. In Flowers for Algernon, a retarded guy is given treatment to make him smarter. He ends up with an IQ over 170 and starts consuming knowledge, literally reading books in minutes and storing every single word he reads. Basically there is nobody smart enough to debate all the subjects he has now mastered, never mind answering the questions he has, and he ends up depressed.

Could the Theory of Relativity be wrong? I'm pretty sure it's been proven over and over, plus it's based from a few concrete postulates. Proving the Theory of Relativity wrong would mean that the laws of physics are different in different inertial reference frames, wouldn't it? This seems pretty absurd.

I had never heard of this kid, so I looked him up. The article says things like he "has asserted that he may one day disprove Einstein's Theory of Relativity" or he has "tipped to someday win a Nobel Prize". Whatever that means.

I mean he's a smart kid, and it's great that he's able to do so well after doctors said he wouldn't be able to function, but he's not God.

We can still talk about "the /sci/ mod" because there is at most one mod who cares about /sci/. At least there used to be one, half a year ago. Perhaps he left the team. We can't know.
