This prodigy was 12 years old when he tested the theory of relativity, Albert Einstein. Now at the age of 13, Jacob Barnett, a researcher recruited paid at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI).
The boy from Hamilton County, Indiana, United States, this makes the university professor was surprised because his intelligence. At the age of 12 years, Jacob test Einstein's theory of relativity and record analysis in expanding the theory.
The mother Kristine Barnett, who was not sure whether her son is really a genius, Jacob sends video to the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University, New Jersey. Jacob himself had an IQ of 170, higher than that of Einstein.
Professor of astrophysics from the Institute, Scott Tremaine confirm the authenticity of the theory of Jacob. In an electronic letter to the family, Tremaine wrote, "I'm impressed by his interest (Jacob) in physics and mathematics that he has learned. The theory that she is doing is the most difficult problems in astrophysics and theoretical physics. Anyone who can solve this problem is a candidate winning the Nobel Prize. "Similarly, as reported by the Daily Mail and TIME, Tuesday (03/29/2011).
Jacob was a child prodigy. From an early age, she was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome which is a mild form of autism. At age two, his parents worried because Jacob does not talk and he suspected abnormal. When Jacob grows, then Jacob's parents were aware of the extraordinary abilities.
Jacob can draw a complex geometric shapes and perform calculations on paper. Previously, he wrote the equation in the windows of the house. Even at the age of three years, Jacob is able to make 5000 pieces of the puzzle. At the same age, Jacob is also able to study the state road map, marking every road and remember the license plate prefix.
At the age of eight, Jacob left his high school class and became a student of astrophysics at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPIU). At age 12, Jacob taught himself calculus, algebra, geometry and trigonometry in a week. Now, he gives lessons to his classmates. Professor, John Ross declared Jacob appearance in class is very 'impressive'.
"When he asks, he's always two steps ahead of the instructors. Everyone in the class fell silent. Children with pity, he sat in the front row, and they can only see it. And he'll see me during office hours and ask more detailed questions. The kids his age usually have problems in fractions, and he would help his friends, "said Ross.
According to her parents, Jacob having trouble sleeping at night because it continues to see the numbers in his head. But rather than complain, Jacob actually change the sleep time is less to be able to dismantle the Big Bang Theory. Furthermore, according to Ross, Jacob will leave his class and became a paid researcher.
