Einsteins Brain

So ye most of us have probably heard about Einsteins brain. He donated it to science when he died. When the scientists looked at it they found all sorts more of receptors er sumthin like that. Was some sort of genetic mutation... his brain was just able to pass more data through it than an average persons brain.

Its gotta make you think... someone else out there has to have a mutation similar to this... theres gotta be other people out there with brains similar to einsteins... how can we find out who that is without opening their skull and looking at it?

 

well i dunno, but im more than sure it wouldnt be you! hehe

 

and im certain not you either... fact im certain its not anyone in these forums lol.

 

tru-that!

 

no genius would waste their time here.

 

except for me

and no I'm not joking

 

You not being a genius, how would you know what a genius would not do?

 

I think that what was different about his brain was that it had more "wrinkles" (I can't remember the scientific name) indicating he thought and used his brain much more than the average person.

 

Albert Einstein was an alien.

 

He wasn't the big genius people make him out to be. There are countless numbers of people with the brain power he had. Im sure theres people on this forum who could match his brain power, unless all of you all are burnt out on drugs.

 

It's all about thinking outside the box, unless you've realized there is no box.

 

amen to that
straight up matrix

 

Really? where'd you hear this from? Because from what I was told by an older science teacher is that he has this brain deformality that very very few people have in the world.

 

--Yea Mann!! ---ShiTT! -This fukkin shitt hurts like hell! -It feells like my fukkin brain is poppin out sometimes! -Fukkin brain deformity! -OUCH!! -Mother FUKKER There it goes again! --Fukk! -MUST STOP USING BRAIN_MUST STOP USING BRAIN_MUST STOP USING BRAIN>>>>>> -Ouwwwww Man! -Yea.... -I think its called "Einstine Lumpy Brain Syndrome".

 

I'm pretty sure that what he had was an abnormal ability to make associations. Knowledge is aquired by making associations, so the bigger ability you have to associate all the things you've seen, the more knowledge you can comprehend. Also, people who knew him reported that he was child-like... which holds true to the "there is no box" theory. As children do not know boundaries with their imagination.

 

Einstein's parietal lobes hit the headlines again in 1999 when a study carried out at McMaster University in Canada uncovered some striking finds. Differences between Einstein's brain and ordinary mortals were most marked in the lower part of the parietal lobe – a region known to be associated with mathematical ideas and visuo-spatial abilities. Two features stood out. First, a fissure that normally divides this region was completely absent from Einstein's brain. And second, the region was unusually large.

Do these physical differences hint at a more extensive and integrated neuronal circuitry in Einstein's brain? And did the expansion of this area occur at the expense of neighbouring regions of the brain normally reserved for language? He was certainly a late developer when it came to speech.



http://www.channel4.com/science/microsites/S/science/body/einsteins_brain.html It was a very good programe..

He needed help with the equations, and he thought everything needed too be elegant, thus letting more dynamic minds pass him by, with notions of string theory and other universes .. but even so, the bloke was a clever clogs .

I think there could be many hidden 'genuises' on this forum.. I suppose your only as clever as your last comment, and it depends who your talking with and how smart they are... i talk utter rubbish half the time and never get accused of being a 'genius' hahahahaha *sigh*.

 

I agree with Matthew. Just because someone is a genius, it doesn't mean they can't hold a normal, meaningless, shallow conversation.

 

-Fukkin-A-Rite!

 

Intelligence is not measured on how big your frontal lobes are. Your intelligence is based on your personal history and learning capabilities. Those 3 reports that were done on Einsteins brain are trivial and do not prove anything of usueful information.

 

Given that the brain is a malleable thing, able to adapt when used differently by growing new connections and killing off others, is it possible that anyone could be like Eiinstein? Of course some genetic determinism is involved, but could it be that practice makes perfect? If we all focused on the learning and info that Einstein did (especially from a young age), we could all be great scientists too.
