Genius at work: 12-year-old is studying at Indiana University

[ellannan]

sheldon cooper?

[patmyer]

Oh how I hate this little shit.

[TheMegurl]

assburgers.. haha

[MikoAkau]

I am smart but not that smart

[aagilly]

doctorate level astro- physics at 12? are you kidding?

[TheUnbannableTroll]

Windows wouldn't be possible if it weren't for an aspie.

[TheUnbannableTroll]

Yeah people with aspies are mostly geniuses. I have aspies as well this kid is an inspiration to me.

[AnteroX1234]

"there is no doubt that he will be able to achieve great things" having a IQ high does not equal success, this kid is NO different than those kids in mensa.

[LexieDeaves]

@AnteroX1234 true, but not just in mensa, in many other places and groups.

[TheMegurl]

@AnteroX1234 He's writing a book and he is in college. Thats not sucess?

[JamesMovingTarget]

Ok he can be smart at Matemathics and Physics but I can bet up his ass

[QBisbest]

@JamesMovingTarget ...what?

[JamesMovingTarget]

@QBisbest Puede ser inteligente pero le puedo meter una putiza :)

[QBisbest]

@JamesMovingTarget ...huh?

[JamesMovingTarget]

@QBisbest Eres como el Dini

[nlytend1]

@JamesMovingTarget nope, he'll create robot bodyguards.

[mcksvnssn1]

Do not cheat

[mcksvnssn1]

Yes a little messed up with copying and paste but i hope you figure out.

[mcksvnssn1]

11.The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.

12.The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.

13.The German smokes Prince.

14.The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

15.The man who smokes Blend has a neighbour who drinks water

[mcksvnssn1]

Hints: 1.The Brit lives in a red house. 2.The Swede keeps dogs as pets. 3.The Dane drinks tea. 4.The green house is on the left of the white house. 5.The green house owner drinks coffee. 6.The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds. 7.The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill. 8.The man living in the house right in the centre drinks milk. 9.The Norwegian lives in the first house. 10.The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.

[mcksvnssn1]

The question for the Einstein test is ... WHO KEEPS THE FISH?

[mcksvnssn1]

"Knowledge is limited, imagination are endless" - Albert Einstein

[mcksvnssn1]

Wow he learns extremely quickly.

But... Could he have imagination enough to figure out new kind of math and physics no one can understand and brought another revolution,like Einstein did???. Those who have Asperger syndrome and autism have great memory (photografik), and learns really quickly. Didnt you all know that Einstein have done everything for us?

And there is a lot more to discover.

Without Einstein=no satellites,computers and almost everything else today.

[fermionsbosons]

As a physicist, I can tell of what Jacob Barnett is talking about is not doctorate level physics. His example that I can see from the video is first year level physics, that is relativistic velocity.

[Ikjyot]

@fermionsbosons Thank you! As a physicist also, I don't understand what the big deal is with this kid.

[enthusiastmathkid]

I'm only 10 years old and I'm doing the same level of math calculus as Jacob Barnett or even harder than what he does. I now write my numerical algorithm in Maple computer language for integration problems that can't be solved for a closed-form solution.

[liman244]

i feel bad for him :[

[ReCLaIM25]

I wish I had Asperger's Syndrome... :(

[TPSHelp]

@ReCLaIM25 No you don't, you can be just as smart without a syndrome and live a happy life unlike this kid. He won't be able to socialize and will end up researching his entire life as a virgin.

[ReCLaIM25]

@TPSHelp Who says? According to the late, great Richard Feynman you can bang lots of chicks and still be a genius. He may have not had Aspergers but we all have our own syndromes.

[lhodgel]

@TPSHelp Actually, I read an article that said the kid has a girlfriend.

He taught himself calculus in 3 weeks. Not just a little differentiation, but multivariable integration and the rest. I don't know anyone that could do that. Although, I agree that living with Asperger's would not necessarily be a good time.

[ItzR3zR4pt0r]

@TPSHelp Who needs socializing or women (to ruin him) when you have a brain like his.

[jokeistman]

he looks like the ultimate tool child lol.

[TheMisterRedonkulis]

ASSBURGERSINDROM

[FsimulatorX]

my dad was going to enter university at age 14 but then they said he was to small so then he entered at 15 and graduated at 19 or 17 (forgot) anyways he has a doctrine degrees on Physics and Geology. Also he has skipped several grades...

[thefanaticx]

@FsimulatorX and you?

[BrutalValor]

Remember, most genius don't really contribute to science at all due to their way of thinking.

Take William James Sidis and Grigori Perelman. Both gave up mathematics at 40-45 for no apparent reason.

[Helkost]

@BrutalValor Perelman contributed a big deal to mathematics. Exact contrary of Sidis. And where did you read that he has given up mathematics? He just doens't like the establishment. Much like Grothendieck.

[BrutalValor]

@Helkost

Apparently is a possibility.

Go to possible withdrawal from mathematics. Write his name on google, click on the wikipedia.

[Skubany1000]

Off corse,only in America.

[VideoNoob122]

Hi, im Jacob. I got no friends.

[pgbcca1]

@VideoNoob122 people may have 300 friends on facebook but those friends may not stick by and support you

He's shown in other videos he's doing fine with friends

those society peer pressures that take kids and mold them into behaving like everybody else which I sense in you saying No friends is what you're doing because he's different

as much as difference is proclaimed to be a great thing people scoff at people living differently

[Futurist2029]

@VideoNoob122 Butthurt much?

[VideoNoob122]

@Futurist2029 Not really,

[XxArachitexX]

Lol these comments have nothing to do with the video....but I support evolution.

(I don't believe, because that's what got the creationists into trouble :P)

[milranduil]

@XxArachitexX How did it get us in trouble? Evolution gets ya'll in trouble...

[ZimnyBoy]

pojebało !

[acw02]

shits going down here

STOP ARGUING YOU'RE ONLY HURTING YOURSELVES

[WhiteRa1000]

@HeebsterPR Nothing.

[TheWizardTrembyle]

@HeebsterPR This kid is whooping ass; just like Israel.

[gitz7v]

@sasukeuchia34 hmm. i'm a cracker, and i believe in God. and i can spell super good. i'm no bible thumper, but i don't need to be to know you're acting like a turd. a racist turd, who lacks an education. your ignorance and racism is more likely to land you in your hell than your perception of others. the bible does say "even a fool is thought to be wise, who remains silent." you might want to take note of that, for God's sake, and for those who do well in His name. just saying.

[troglodyte3344]

yeah but how many match sticks are in the box?

[ViktorAlexandrov]

sheldon cooper in real?

[way12go]

God(s) can not exist.Space can not be infinite and it is timeless.There is no beginning and an end to the existence of the World.Numbers are infinite but number of apples (existence) can not be infinite.....

I invented this theory in January 2000 and as you can see... more than 11 long years have passed and the World doesn't know my theory. I need your help in doing so. Please help me.

[freaky011]

@way12go: go eat an apple instead of spreading horse shit.

[sasukeuchia34]

@way12go stupid ethiest wacha go to hell then youu'll bealive in god

[Shenkoa360]

@sasukeuchia34 Stupid Atheist, watch you go to Hell and then you will believe in god.

There, corrected... By an Atheist.

[sasukeuchia34]

@Shenkoa360 quier

[Darthscion5555]

@sasukeuchia34 Funny thing is you spelled "quier" wrong you QUEER!

[sasukeuchia34]

@Darthscion5555 lol your white see im a good wnie thats devine at anytime

and you know what that makes you behind every good wine theirs a cracker. bitch!!!

[Darthscion5555]

@sasukeuchia34 One question... what drugs are you on? What ever your on you need some help.
