You'd think that the smartest man in the world is a Da Vinci, John Stuart Mills, Or Albert Einstein, or even Bill Gates. Everything was considered jenus-genius who has given much greater influence on their respective fields. But the degree of human genius world has ever had it was still feasible given to William James Sidis. Who is he? Why his name is less known though drowning and reached the range IQnya numbers 250-300?
Sidis miracle begins when she can feed herself with a spoon at the age of 8 months. At the age of less than two years, Sidis have made the New York Times as a friend breakfast. Since that time subscribed his name to a newspaper headline: write several books before the age of eight years, including about Anatomy and astronomy. At the age of 11 years Sidis accepted at Harvard University as the youngest student. Harvardpun then awed by his genius when Sidis gave a lecture on the Four Dimensions body in front of the professor of mathematics. More intense longer: Sidis understand the language of the world's 200 species and can translate that very quickly and easily. He could learn a language as a whole in a day.
William Sidis success is the success of his father, Boris Sidis are a Psychologist powerful Jew. Boris himself is also a Harvard graduate, students famed psychologist William James (so she later gave to his son's name), Boris was making his son as an example for a new education model as well as attacking the conventional education system has become the accused ringleader of evil, crime and disease. Who would have thought William Sidis later died at a relatively young age, 46 years old - a time when a scientist should be in a productive period. Sidis died in a state of unemployed, isolated and very poor. Ironic.
People then judge that Sidis's life is not happy. Popularity and prowess on the field of mathematics made him miserable. Several years before he died, Sidis had indeed told the press that he hated math - something that has been catapulted his name. In social life, Sidis had little friends. In fact, he also often shunned by colleagues sekampus. Not even once had a girlfriend or wife. Bachelor's degree is never finished, only abandoned. He then broke with his family, wandering in secrecy, working with modest salaries, isolate themselves. He ran away from the triumph of her childhood which is actually the projection of the father. He realized that his life is the result pemolaan others. However, awareness is often late.
Sidis business touching indeed. There is a strong desire to escape from the influence of the father, for being yourself. Although not authorized for that Sidis. The press and public already made as a news Sidis. Wherever Sidis hiding, the press would have kissed. Sidis could not take his father's influence for granted. It has been embedded as a time bomb, which then blew himself up.
