At 12-years-old, Jacob Barnett is a genius. He’s already in college, his IQ is higher than Einstein’s, and for fun he‘s working on an expanded version of that man’s theory of relativity. So far, the signs are good. Professors are astounded. So what else does a boy genius with vast brilliance do in his free time? Disprove the big bang, of course.
Original Story is below:

When Jacob Barnett first learned about the Schrödinger equation for quantum mechanics, he could hardly contain himself.
For three straight days, his little brain buzzed with mathematical functions.
From within his 12-year-old, mildly autistic mind, there gradually flowed long strings of pluses, minuses, funky letters and upside-down triangles -- a tapestry of complicated symbols that few can understand.
He grabbed his pencil and filled every sheet of paper before grabbing a marker and filling up a dry erase board that hangs in his bedroom. With a single-minded obsession, he kept on, eventually marking up every window in the home.
Strange, say some.
Genius, say others.
But entirely normal for Jacob, a child prodigy who used to crunch his cereal while calculating the volume of the cereal box in his head.

"The theory that he's working on involves several of the toughest problems in astrophysics and theoretical physics.
"Anyone who solves these will be in line for a Nobel Prize."

If you remember the 60's, you weren't there...
Strangely enough it smelled like burning rope...
I haven’t seen him since my kids were at his clown camp. Nice guy in person...
More drumsticks and wings, and she'd still be alive today...
Ooooooo! are you hiring???

Heh. My psycho-genius 9-year-old has actually said that.
I think that would depend on the angular momentum of the original monobloc. Which would be conserved.

“Penny wise and pound foolish.”
At 12 years old there is absolutely no way that this wonder child has ANY world experiences. He probably was raised as a “lab rat” in a strictly controlled environment and was only allowed the study of a very narrow range of subjects.
Granted, he’s exceptional at math but the giveaway is his quotes. He’s VERY BAD at English!
Take it for what it’s worth.
I have asparagus syndrome too.
I particularly love it smothered in butter sauce and a little salt and pepper on it.
Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy! LoL!
When he hits 12, have him shoot me an email. I’ll probably hire him.
He can recite the details of every “Magic: The Gathering” card in the house, including a vivid description of the picture and the artist’s name and bio. And he can make himself invisible by (I think) distorting the refraction of my progressive bifocals.
There’s your problem, you should be wearing conservative bifocals...
Did you bother to read the whole article; Not the Blaze version, but the Indy Star one?
That’s an excellent point.
In the 'cosmological' sense, What was the mass of the bullet? Who fired it? What kind of gun was used?
Smoeitems I kown jsut waht yuo maen.
If the invisibility trick is repeatable, I’ll hire him when he hits 10. He’ll immediately be placed into my secret super-hero tutoring program. We’ll teach him how to use his powers for good. And how to wear tights in a way that doesn’t make you look gay.
