What Makes a Genius – pt 1
What Makes a Genius? Could you have come up with Einstein’s theory of relativity? If not – why not? This is what Marcus du Sautoy, professor of mathematics, wants to explore. Marcus readily admits that he is no genius, but wants to know if geniuses are just an extreme version of himself – or whether their brains are fundamentally different. Marcus meets some remarkable individuals – Tommy, an obsessive artist who uses his whole house as his canvas; Derek: blind, autistic, and a pianist with apparently prodigious gifts; Claire who is also blind, but whose brain has learnt to see using sound. Marcus is shown how babies have remarkable abilities which most of us lose as teenagers. He meets a neuroscientist who claims he has evidence of innate ability, a scientist who’s identified a gene for learning, and Dr. Paulus, who has discovered how to sharpen the brain… by electrically turbo-charging it.

I think it’s awesome that a mother is taking time to teach her child to read or memorize instead of throwing her in front of the television and letting it rot her brain out. Great job mom!

there is a video of this girll ‘reading’ at 13months as wel. And off course it’s ‘memorization’, but than my question remains “what’s the use”? What do they want to achieve with this?
This is not meant in an offensive way, just a thought…

memorization. cmon lets be serious a 2yr old reading. whats with the title?…STILL?..was she supposed to stop?

I cannot help but wonder what the use of this may be.
What will she have to learn when she’s age 5?
Won’t she get bored once she’s in school?
In my opinion (I’m a mum of 3) there is other and more inportant things to learn at the age of 13months-24months…
