Finished 2nd. in the Science Fair to a kid who built a diorama about Global Warming
Believe it or not, my some is just like this. Not sure what to do with him. He did much the same thing with the periodic tables last year. Not doing super well in school though. He has a hard time focusing on what is being taught. Time will tell but for now I signed him up for Little league so that he learns some concrete lessons. Not just theoretical.
What an amazing piece.....and an even more amazing kid!

I just read the whole thing and loved every minute of it!!!
Great read! Thanks!
Someone needs to ask this guy to build a 10Kw home Thorium based generator.

I caught this and thought folks would enjoy it.
"Funny, that spelling and grammar were my only downfall, and till this day I have problems with both. But science and technology were never a problem. I passed Jr. High and High School through osmosis, never studying, heck, I slept in every class. When home I would conduct science experiments. My GPA in high school was 1.6, and I didn't care. I think its important you take this seriously, especially if you are a parent of a genius, or a teacher, etc etc. Once I got to college I had a 4.0, dropping to a 3.9 because my philosophy teacher didn't like my capitalistic views, and refused to conform to his socialistic/communistic views."
I created nuclear fusion when I was 13. It looked like pudding. I fed some to the little neighbor boy Kirk who always followed me around. He started to glow in the dark. Mom asked me if I knew anything about why Kirk was glowing in the dark. I said, “No, but let’s use him to hunt for nightcrawlers.” Don’t laugh....paid for my particle accelerator with those nightcrawlers. Kirk? He’s a runway light these days.
If the excerpt is anything like the article, then no I won't want to read the rest of it. I have a finite lifespan, and reading drivel uses up time I'll never get back.
Hold for later.
Great article
The kid is making yellowcake in his garage.....
Great.............. :(
I really hope that the federal government is keeping a close eye on that kid, for his own protection.
There are quite a few nations/organizations that would greatly covet an asset like him.
Seriously, thank God he wasn't born in Iran or North Korea.
Figuring out what was in the box would've taken up a lot of manpower that could've been otherwise spent fondling caucasian children and the elderly.
The Soviet N1 had more liftoff thrust than the Saturn V, although the Saturn could deliver a heavier payload. And the N1 never became fully operational.
Very interesting. I’ve taught some brilliant kids (nothing like this) and I can tell it is exciting yet unnerving when the student knows more than you. And underneath it, the question, what do I do with this kid? How do I steer him to someplace or someone where he can step off onto a higher plane?
Great article and glad I took the time to read it. Those with short attention spans will lose out.
If 32 other individuals have achieved these temperatures then why are we still having this energy debate?
Is it possible, as I have been saying for years, we do not have an energy shortage but a political will shortage?
I guess if the world stopped purchasing oil from sub-human rag heads they would get really upset and start doing more bad things so the politicians of the world keep them placated with our dollars. They don’t have the intelligence to do anything else.
So PopSci is trying to make radioactivity a fun family affair connected to precocious youngsters soccer moms and dads can be proud of?
Hmmm. The Fukushima fallout cloud must have finally crossed the Pacific and hit America.
Measure the radioactivity levels in your milk lately? (No, I’m not kidding - a huge percentage of the deaths at Chernobyl came from drinking the local milk, since it concentrates the radiactive particles up the food chain).
