Genius at work: 12-year-old is studying at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis
He's currently working on disproving the big bang theory. Developing his own original theory on quantum physics. Can recite pi out to 200 digits (forward and backward). Took two weeks to learn high school math. "He tested out of algebra 1 and 2, geometry, trigonometry and calculus." And much, much more.
I asked my 5 year old if she knew what pi was. "It's just food!" What is 10 x 10? "Uh, 20?"
I asked my 3 year old daughter if she could do a 5000 piece puzzle. "I not do that!".
I asked my 3 year old son if he knew what Mars was. Blank stare. Then he went for his nose.
Man, my kids are stupid.

Screw that! Is he smart enough to understand tax law?

He has some interesting ideas about heavy-element formation, but it's pretty well explained already once you get beyond the high school level simplifications from what I understand. He'll get a lot better if/when he chugs through graduate-level astronomy/physics.

Everything is on the bell curve Zim. Everything
