Einstein wasn’t just intelligent, I heard there was a part of his brain that was larger than normal and that was why he could perceive such things. like how he came up with the speed of light, he envisioned himself basically riding on a beam of light flying through space

Edit: he was missing a wrinkle in his brain so some lobe was larger, also more neurons than normal. PS you’re all a bunch of negative nancies. We need more positive patties around here

Edit: brain

After reading a few biography’s written of him I believe the general consensus that his life long passion playing of the violin while he thought about his work played a part in developing/over developing one of the lobe. Of course it wasn’t confirmed to be that reason but that’s what they all seems to think. Dude also apparently fucked like a champ as I understand it, and had some pretty fashionable Sandals.

Dude was overall one badass mamajamma. Anyone with fashionable sandals is a straight g in my book.

It’s all good, something I heard in some science class in high school like 6 years ago sooooo yeah pretty fuzzy recalling that one

Not the brain part, that isn’t hard to believe..

"I'm gonna need the source on that one." "Here's a Wikipedia article." College Professors REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

u/Sigmatics Apr 10 '19

It's better than nothing. More often than not Wikipedia is actually backed up by scientific sources.

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '19

Every professor I ever had in college required me to use at least Wikipedia as a source. It's finally reliable because there's more people contributing and self correcting versus some random guy on the internet.

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '19

That's because most professors are ignorant and biased about it but usually Wikipedia is actually a really good source.

u/FlashwithSymbols Apr 10 '19

The problem with wikipedia is not bias. It's the fact that anyone can edit it. Wikipedia articles have been edited with false information in the past. Due to this, there is no one being held accountable for the information since it's not by a publisher and the authors aren't always listed. Hence, it's a source you can't use.

It's the fact that anyone can edit it.

...Yes but also no. Try to edit any random page, it'll get corrected back in the same day usually within minutes/hours. And that's for lesser known pages - for more famous stuff they are protected and can only edit if you're a recognizable contributor. So no, that's also more ignorant stuff that teachers say.

Idk the source I think my high school physics teacher may have dished out a bunch of bullshit haha

It also encourage the debate and allow people with better knowledge to answer.

I prefer that to troll or people not accepting they're wrong.

u/GotAnyKetM8 Apr 10 '19

what? unfortunately my 3 second google search did not reveal that 'he envisioned himself basically riding on a beam of light flying through space".

u/GerbilJibberJabber Apr 10 '19

We need more positive patties around here

Will pretty patties be accepted?

Edit : French Fry Bowties?

u/killaninja Apr 10 '19

Only the kilt ones

Edit: and French fry bow ties are definitely in

No idea why you’re getting downvoted, but fuck ‘em. “Imagination is more important than intelligence.” Albert Einstein
