Einstein Brain

According to the study published in the US journal Science on Thursday, Einstein’s celebrated formula e=mc2 was finally corroborated by French, German and Hungarian physicists.

However, another study indicates that Einstein’s brain power may be due to his unusually shaped brain. Yes, his brain was unusually shaped, not to say all people with unusually shaped brain would become geniuses, but according to researchers, “the gap that normally runs between the two hemispherea of the brain, known as the sulcus, did not extend all the way in Einstein’s brain. It may be that the lack of a gap allowed more neurons to work together more easily.”

My story is this, as a child in middle school, I remembered one of my classmates who had an unusually shaped head, and because his head was larger than normal, the other kids made fun of him. But till this day, I consider him to be the most intelligent person I have ever met. I never actually saw him study, and we were boarding school roommates, but he never got below 98 in physics or maths. He could design a rocket or robot straight from his brain, and he became a good friend. He was in a gifted class, and IMHO, I think he had the same unusual shaped brain as Einstein.
