bump.
this seems like a troll but totally relevant

Jesus Christ I punched my monitor.
You made me do that.
Fucking annoying kid.

>>3785300
i
i think i love you

Obnoxious child raised by babyworshiping fundamentalists. How incredible. I knew e=mc2 when I was ten too, but I didn't treat people like dirt because of it.

>but I can think in 4 and 5
>:D

>>3785368
I was about to post that.

Fucking hell man.

>>3785368
I bit my lip so hard it bled when I heard that. I'd beat the shit out of that kid.

>I'm going to introduce you to Jacob and let you see God's handiwork here as he is starting on his path to disprove the Big Bang.

I'm going to punch both of them.

>he was doing the volume of the boxes
>he was making EQUATIONS~

Isn't this the kid who believes... who believes... earth and rest of universe were created on the same day.

Look at the way that kid's eyes shift around and how he fidgets. He knows he's a little bullshitter.

>walked over to a roll-out piano and started playing Beethoven.
They're too stupid to realize they're being mocked on national television.

do any of these child prodigy kids actually accomplish things
they go on tv and shit and then like 15 years later they still haven't done anything

I wonder if this kid will do anything significant for mankind.
Also wondering how he knew what the fuck volume was at 14months?

I was interested when he started doing the maths, especially since I'm not terribly confident that the series does converge. But Glenn Beck didn't let him finish. What's up with that.

>>3785383
>>3785368

he's 10 and has a ten-year-old's sense of humor

you were twice as annoying when you were 10, even without a reason to have a huge ego

>>3785464
They don't, they get fucked up mentally with that skipping grades bullshit and think so highly of themselves they can't function in society because they're used to everyone worshiping them.

>>3785466
He didn't, are you seriously that dense?

>>3785464
Most of them get low income jobs and don't do anything to help society, which is why I ignore them now.

>two alternative theories to the big bang

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY????

>>3785466

i doubt he was thinking in terms of the actual word "volume" and the equation describing it.
it was a visual and kinetic thing. he just wanted to know how much space was in the box, in "units" of cheerios.

>>3785466
You actually believe a word they said? I bet the whole playing Beethoven at 4 thing blew you off your feet, huh?

>>3785477
MAybe but i was skipping around and i got to the ceal box part and the parents said something like "He told us he was making equations for volume." Maybe someone left a dictionary on the floor and he taught himself, but i really think te parents are bsing that part.

>>3785510
They BS'd the whole thing, you could see it in their eyes and hear it in their tone of voice, especially the kid's. Glenn was laughing to himself the entire time and they were too dumb to notice.

>>3785464

I don't think the rate of success is much higher than among normal kids.

Saul Kripke was a child prodigy. John von Neumann, I think. Orson Welles, but you don't exactly recognise the value of art on this board.

>>3785525

The biggest hint was the Beethoven.

Suppose the kid was a musical prodigy. Suppose he did start playing the moonlight sonata. How does a southern hick recognise the composer by man? How does she know he wasn't playing Mozart or Handel?

At what point is Beck's quip? I don't want to look through 15 minutes of this program.

>>3785562
he probably played the first few notes of fur elise and his mom decided he was a musical genius

>implying drawing a hypercube means you can think four obsessionally.

>>3785564
He was very subtle through the whole thing. The biggest clue was
>I hate this kid.
And he led them on from there.

>>3785590
didn't hear that

I read on some other website about his alternate theories to the big bang

Basically he said "I know where the hydrogen and helium came from.. but where did the carbon come from? according to my calculations there couldn't have been so much carbon created"

>mfw

>>3785588
>four obsessionally
wat

But seriously, understanding 4/5 dimensions and thinking 4/5 dimensionally are completely different. Otherwise the comment about s. hawking thinking 3-dimensionally would have been extraordinarily... ordinary

>>3785590
Didn't seem that way to me, honestly. And I doubt I'm being autistic.

>>3785611
Holy shit.

>>3785609
What is "thinking 3 dimensionally" supposed to mean?

I mean, I get it. The guy can't use his body, so he has to use his imagination for EVERYthing, and that's incredible. But I still don't get what that phrase is trying to say. I can imagine 3 dimensional mathematical objects.

>>3785611
he just makes stupidass claims but doesn't explain his calculations

That's how it is being a kid that everyone praises, you're used to being taken seriously and you're used to people around you being completely ignorant of things you know about, so you get away with dumb shit. The kid doesn't fully comprehend how much his shitty ideas will get torn apart by peers if he ever does enter into the field of research--

Jacob can think in 4 and 5 dimensions but I can think in 6 and 7 dimensions.

>>3785611
apparently this kid needs to take astronomy 101

>>3785629
>2011
>thinking in less than 12 dimensions

>>3785629

Give me an arbitrary n, and I will think in n+1 dimensions.

What do you say to that, fag.

>>3785654

n+2 lol

>>3785654
I will think in -1 dimensions and you will think in 0 dimensions.

I am now thinking in more dimensions than you.

>>3785666

I'LL DEFINE AN ONTO MAPPING BETWEEN MY DIMENSIONS AND YOURS AND PROVE THAT YOURS ARE NO GREATER.

YOU'RE PLAYING WITH MEN HERE, LITTLE GIRL.

>>3785260
Glenn Beck is a master troll.

He is pretty smart, actually.

If I could make loads of money by peddling bullshit, I would. Shame that he stopped doing blow and found Joseph Smith though, he was apparently a pretty funny DJ.

>>3785654
No I can't do it. Sorry if I hurt you're feelings with my joke.

"Stephen Hawkings can think in 3-dimensions. Can you?"
"I can think in 4 or 5"
"Wow"

"I once ate a foot-long sandwich in three bites"
"I can do it in two."
"Unbelievable"

"I beat Mario on the day it came out."
"I beat Mario the day BEFORE it came out because my uncle works for Nintendo."
"What a prodigy."

If this kid is a genius, my elementary school playground was a top secret thinktank of children bred to invent quantum computing.

>>3785725

Joking aside, the kids in my primary were pretty bright. But I know demographically most are either going to be working minimum wage and/or strung out on crack by now.

It's a bit sad.

>>3785260

I jelly

>OH YEAH HAWKING THINKS IN THREE DIMENSIONS

i fuckin see in three dimensions. oh look, i just imagined a cube in my head, I CAN THINK IN 3 DIMENSIONS

>BUT I CAN THINK IN FOUR AND FIVE

TELL ME WHAT THAT FUCKING MEANS. HOW DO YOU THINK IN 5 DIMENSIONS. I DON'T FUCKING GET IT.

>>3785666
lol

>I wouldn't even recognize an equation for volume, would you?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBW4S9xcTOk&feature=youtu.be&t=4m51s

Yeah, Glenn's still the idiot he's always been.

>>3785874
You think in 4 dimensions any time you think in both space and time. (EG I have to throw that ball into that hoop from my current position before the buzzer reaches 0)

You think in 5+ dimensions any time you consider a problem with 5+ variables.
>Define dimension

>>3785874

>i just imagined a cube in my head

Can you imagine yourself cuming on that cube?

>>3785923
yes

>>3785940

Congratulations you're a genius

If I could think in 5 dimensions I would be home imagining porn all day

>>3785368
When does he say this? I can't get more than a minute without getting bored.

>>3785979
close to the beginning

Hey Guys, I'm know more things about science than a 12 year old, does that make up that fact that I shit up this board and get all my facts from google?

I don't know why people getting mad at him for being semi arrogant, he is 10 years old, he is a prodigy, AND he has ass burgers, he has no chance of behaving normally.

I think its fucking tragic they think he gods gift, fucking retarded parents, what a waste of such talent. When you are being spoonfed shit like you are special because of god, its no wonder he thinks high of himself.

Everyone in this topic is missing the point.

Noone is mad because the kid is smart or arrogant. We should be getting mad because of all the Christians and idiots that think that because he can do University level math a bit earlier than most that he is somehow an authority on relativity/the big bang.

People look at him and think: Wow, this kid is pretty smart.
And he is. FOR HIS AGE.
But then they continue to think: If HE says he can disprove the Big Bang then there's obviously something wrong with it! After all, he is a GENIUS!

They'll blindly follow him because he affirms their beliefs, meanwhile his peers (who probably make fewer mathematical mistakes than this kid has mad) and his Professors (who, while much smarter, are expected to be smart) will go ignored when they say "Well, his pretty smart, but his theories are wrong" because
1. You can't criticise a child. He's free to say whatever he wants. Science makes exceptions for children.
2. They're not seen as special because they're not smart for their ages. They're EXPECTED to be smart.

At first I was like, "Oh this going to be some troll logic level bullshit explanation." Then the kid goes up to the board and starts writing god damn integrals and I'm like "fuck, I hate integrals, I always fucking suck at them." So I'm not following him and I know most of Glenn Becks regular views aren't following him, but I'm sure they take one look at the fancy equations and instantly accept everything he's saying because they are fancy. Meanwhile, Beck gets board and starts dicking around and I've totally lost what the kid is doing because of his shinanigens (not that I would have understood it much better the first time through, I suck so bad at integrals). If somebody could explain at least what the kid is trying to do with his equations it would be much appreciated.

>>3786749
Just some shitty proof. It's not that hard for anyone who knows maths, impressive for a kid though. I've stopped caring about these child prodigy's. Remembering lot's of stuff and knowing lot's of math's is nothing more than a party trick these days, after all we have computers that can retain far more information. A truly impressive genius is someone who can come up with new ideas.

>>3786769
A proof for what exactly? How does it 'disprove' the big bang? What is his logic?

>>3786651
He's trying to show that an infinite series converges by using the integral test. It's a shame that he forgot that the test can only be applied to monotonic functions, and in fact, the series diverges.

>>3786651
>>3786749

Seriously? This is just Calc II stuff...

Using the Integral Test to see if a series converges or diverges. Here, I'll finish it off for you...
<span class="math">\int_1 ^\infty \frac{2 \sin {(x)} \cos {(x)} \mathrm dx} {1 + \sin ^4 {(x)}}[/spoiler]
Let <span class="math">u = \sin x[/spoiler]
<span class="math">\mathrm du = \cos x \mathrm dx[/spoiler]

<span class="math">\int_1 ^\infty \frac{2 \sin {(x)} \cos {(x)} \mathrm dx } {1 + \sin ^4 {(x)}} = 2 \int_{x=1} ^{x=\infty} \frac{u \mathrm du} {1 + u^4}[/spoiler]

Let <span class="math">w = u^2[/spoiler]
<span class="math">\mathrm dw = 2u \mathrm du[/spoiler]

<span class="math">\int_{x=1} ^{x=\infty} \frac{2 u \mathrm du} {1 + u^4} = \int_{x=1} ^{x=\infty} \frac{w \mathrm dw} {1 + w^2} = \left [ \arctan {w} \right ]_{x=1} ^{x=\infty}[/spoiler]

Substituting back to <span class="math">x[/spoiler]...
<span class="math">\left [ \arctan {w} \right ]_{x=1} ^{x=\infty} = \left [ \arctan \left( \sin ^2 {x} \right) \right ]_{1} ^{\infty} = \arctan \left( \sin ^2 {\infty} \right) - \arctan \left( \sin ^2 {0} \right)[/spoiler].

Note that <span class="math">\arctan \left( \sin ^2 {0} \right) = \arctan \left( 0 \right) = 0[/spoiler]. And <span class="math">\arctan \left( \sin ^2 {\infty} \right) = \arctan \left( [0,1] \right) = [0,\pi / 4][/spoiler]

Thus the integral converges on some interval <span class="math">[0,\pi / 4][/spoiler], but does not absolutely converge.
And therefore the same is true of the infinite series.

>>3786807
And noone in the audience notices.

>>3786788
he says at the time the earth was created there shouldn't have been enough carbon in the universe.

BIG BANG DISPROVED

>>3786828
Why?

I thought carbon is pretty common and would have been created under all sorts of conditions before the Earth was created?

Also, even it if were true, could it just be that the time intervals are wrong - not the entire theory?

>>3786828

>>3786879
The Room
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCj8sPCWfUw

Jesus, how can't you know that movie ?

Everybody seems to forget who Glenn Beck is, the retard who thinks conflicts in middle east is because Muslims and Jews want the holy land.

That kid is way smarter than him, even if he didn't skip 7 grades.

>>3786871
The problem isn't just the acting. But on that note, he wasn't the ONLY bad actor. None of them were good.

It also had strange dialogue at certain parts, plot threads that went NOWHERE. I mean, there's that scene where the guy pulls a gun out on the kid over drugs and it NEVER comes up again.

The main plot doesn't advance at all until the final 20 minutes. It's just:
-MUM, I don't love Johnny.
-Marry him anyway
-HEY GUYS LET'S PLAY FOOTBALL
-MUM, I don't love Johnny.
-Marry him anyway
-HEY GUYS LET'S PLAY FOOTBALL
-MUM, I don't love Johnny.
-Marry him anyway
-HEY GUYS LET'S PLAY FOOTBALL

There are sex scenes everywhere. Mark would say "No Lisa, let's not do this anymore" while screwing the bitch. And I SWEAR some of the scenes were played out of order. There's that one part where it's a month away from the wedding, the very next scene is them in their tuxedos talking about the wedding and photos implying that the wedding was over, then the rest of the movie takes place one month before the wedding. Like, that scene was from a future alternate timeline where Lisa and Johnny actually got married and was stuck in for no reason.

So Tommy actually thinks the movie is good?

AUTISM AND THE GOD CONNECTION

> Wiseau, confused about the differences between 35 mm film and high-definition video, decided to shoot the entire film in both formats with two cameras side-by-side on the same mount.

> Many lines of dialogue (especially those of Wiseau's) in the film are dubbed, with the audio often not synching to the mouth movements onscreen. The original script was actually much longer than the shooting script and contained numerous wordy monologues and even more irrelevant information. The script was heavily edited on set by the script supervisor and the actors. One anonymous cast member said that the script contained "stuff that was just unsayable. I know it's hard to imagine there was stuff that was worse. But there was."

> Greg Ellery has claimed that Juliette Danielle was 18 years old and just "off the bus from Texas" when shooting began; Ellery also claims that on the first day of shooting, "the cast watched in horror" as Wiseau jumped on Danielle and immediately began filming their "love scene". Wiseau has claimed that Danielle was originally one of three or four understudies for the Lisa character, and was selected after the original actress left the production.

> Kyle Vogt (Peter) quit the film halfway through the shoot. His lines in the last half of the film were given to Ellery, whose character is never introduced, explained, or addressed by name.

>>3787023
>Tommy Wiseau claims to have financed the film by importing and selling leather jackets from Korea. He refuses to further elaborate on this.

>10 million dollars from leather jackets

>Tommy Wiseau esoterically addressed several fan questions in a special Q&A feature filmed for the DVD release. Among these are "Why is it called 'The Room'?" (to which Wiseau replies that the title is meant to evoke a safe place for viewers) and "Why is everyone playing football in tuxedos and standing only three feet apart?" (which Wiseau doesn't answer except to say that football is fun and that playing it without protective gear is a challenge).

>>3787034

Believe it.

There are people that _can't_ think in three dimensions?

i thought even idiots could do this...

>kid is really smart
>gets praise for basically doing nothing
>rarely criticised for his errors
>never learns to accurately assess his own work
>never learns to work well with others
>never has any impact on real science

Treating him like this is child abuse. But, depressingly, he'll never develop the skills to look back and realise how much of his potential was being wasted by this treatment.

>>3787218
I have a MSc in Physics and the only way I can deal with the third dimension is through math.

>>3787218
i know right? when i heard that i was like "wat?" well, Stephen halkings can also think in english, HE CAN THINK IN ENGLISH! he is so smart. thats the point i closed the thing.

>>3787347

And really that's just as good, right? Even if we could accurately hold multiple dimensions in our heads, our intuitions for these realms is all wrong, and we'd hardly be able to relate any results to anyone else in any case.

Make no mistake, it's amazing that people can picture these things. But unless they also have the maths to back it up, well, they might as well be making it up.

>>3787368
Well, yeah, I don't trust anything that isn't backed up by math. Still, I was pointing out that it's perfectly possible for someone to be unable to "think" in three dimensions.

>>3787218
I think whoever says they can't is either a massive troll or just so ignorant that they don't actually know what they're talking about.

My little sister can't be this trolled.

>>3785971

This kid is fucking retarded. That infinite series diverges, not converges. The integral test only applies to monotonic functions. If you don't believe me you can put it in wolframalpha and see for yourself. He's a stupid cocky piece of shit who thinks he's smart as fuck.
