There's a thread about this in the club too, fyi

Yeah, I guess it shouldn't be here.
Thank God he got out of school.
Isn't he going to IUPUI?
Yes, he got out of school and is now likely to further his education.
Maybe he's a George Hill fan.
Inevitable, so I got it out of the way.
Maybe he's a Bill Lamb fan.
I agree, maybe this would be better in the Spurs forum?
Einstein had the best theory of relativity of all time. ALL TIME!
Getting out of school would be horrible for him. Maybe taking more than an occasional class or two won't be that important, but he certainly needs to be working in a community that can better appreciate, critique, and build on his insights (and vice-versa).
Just don't let him know that Hill has a picture of his mass on the internets.
He seems to have the flexibility to pursue his interests rather than meekly accept whatever degree plan is put in front of him.
Yeah but its not about a degree with this young man but rather having access to individuals who actually understand him and can facilitate new ideas. To be honest, he's probably more of a benefit to others in that regard than they are to him.
I'm not sure what you're arguing here. Are you saying a typical 2 years of major, 2 years of filler Bachelor's of Science is a waste of time for him? I might be able to agree with that, though he'll certainly need to take a few classes on algebra, lie groups, quantum theory, and the like so he's not building everything from square one. If you're arguing that he shouldn't pursue a Ph.D where he can do original research in collaboration with other talented mathematicians and physicists, then that would be nuts.
No way this guy shouldn't be at Stanford to bounce ideas off Leonard Susskind or Caltech to work with Kip Thorne if he's really interested in gravitation and is as talented as the hype.
I am arguing that he is now in an environment where he can actually learn what he needs to, which I am sure by now he has figured out.
Why don't prodigies ever write on a freakin' piece of paper like a normal person?
Hope his mom grounds his ass for messing up his window like that.
The articles I have seen indicate he's in school.
He's out of school and in an actual ins ution of higher learning. Now if you wish to posit that the offerings there are sparse, I'm inclined not to disagree, at least for the first couple of years.
It just makes them look cool. I don't see how writing on a window could ever be more efficient than a dry erase board. I had a room mate that wrote physics equations on his mirror. He said it helped him remember them and that it impressed girls.Why don't prodigies ever write on a freakin' piece of paper like a normal person?
Hope his mom grounds his ass for messing up his window like that.
He has probably seen Good Will Hunting.Why don't prodigies ever write on a freakin' piece of paper like a normal person?

Or A Beautiful Mind.
