12-Year-Old Genius Expands Theory of Relativity

[Gasu E.]

Maybe he can prove that TIME TRAVEL can indeed be a reality.. I sure hope so, as I would love to go back to the 1980s and remain there FOREVER.

Actually the existence of alternate realities has already been established. Just watch Fox News any night.

It's my fault for not explaining my stance more clearly. I never said science accepts everything as true until proven false. Scientific theories are held to be true because no data has be found yet that contradicts those theories.

Yes, but you are glossing over the amount of evidence required to turn a mere hypothesis into an accepted Theory. Typically, no hypothesis gets elevated unless it can be used to predict something that no one has ever noticed before, and experiments can be devised to detect the predicted phenomenum. And any widely accepted Theory has been confirmed by multiple independent predictive experiments.

I watched the video and while there's no doubt he is smart (probably) the quantum mechanics section was really just basic definitions of quantum numbers and the wavefunction.

The part about relativity is just nonsensical, there's nothing in his equations that suggests density is related to the speed of light (although the speed of sound is inversely related to the density of the medium - it seems like he would be in favour of an aether theorem), the speed of light is very well defined and tested and there is absolutely no evidence for tachyons (I don't know of any theoretical background to support tachyons either).

I hope he keeps it up.

EDIT:
That is completely inaccurate, there are plenty of ways the theory can be disproven - if that were not so then it would not be a scientific theory. Protip, everything in science can be disproven.

lol i didn't mean it literally it was more like an "omg schoolgirl moment"

Where do you find those?

Back in the day it used to be in magazines that had plastic bag covers that covered half of the front and back of the magazine.. now it is all on the internet!

A pie with 22k digits?

It was Daniel something. I think another person mentioned his name already. It should be correct that it was Icelandic, not Swedish though. Icelandic is much harder than Swedish! Lets give the guy a little more credit than just Swedish
