That's what I thought

All we know at this moment is that it's directly proportional to his ping.

Great article, here's the part discussing the big bang:

I get the same vibe off of Jacob when watching his videos. He has a lot of factual knowledge and can clearly think about the concepts in a deep way as he tries to wrap his mind around some of the greatest scientific concepts humans have developed. But he seems to lack maturity and perspective, leading him to rash conclusions based upon flimsy speculation. For example, he questions the Big Bang because it cannot account for the amount of carbon in the universe. But in reality these are independent questions – how the universe got here and the subsequent lifecyle of stars that generate carbon. He is putting too much emphasis on his calculations, and not enough on the deeper conceptual issues.

Also, listening to him talk about the speed of light, he clearly understands the basics and is thinking about things in interesting ways, but again goes too far from thin speculation. He seems to think that the speed of light is not what we think it is because light can bend – accelerate lateral to its direction of motion. But this does not add up. According to relativity, light is traveling at C just through curved space – which does not require light traveling faster than C in a vacuum.

About 10853 people on earth have the same IQ or higher than this kid. That's pretty wild.

Think of how many of them are living in 3rd world countries with no access to education.

That's depressing.

There are probably a bunch of Hitlers living in poverty too so maybe it's a wash.

I hope he goes on Jeopardy and bitchslaps that annoying ###### Ken Jennings into the next timezone.

This video makes me want to kill myself for being so stupid, thanks!

I hope he lives a long life but I wouldn't bet on it.
