autistic boy develops own theory of relativity


A 12-year-old child prodigy has astounded university professors
after grappling with some of the most advanced concepts in mathematics.
Jacob Barnett has an IQ of 170, higher than Albert Einstein,
and is now so far advanced in his Indiana university studies
that professors are lining him up for a PHD research role.
The boy wonder, who taught himself calculus, algebra, geometry and trigonometry in a week,
is now tutoring fellow college classmates after hours.
And now Jake has embarked on his most ambitious project yet,
his own 'expanded version of Einstein's theory of relativity'.
