Genius Boy Jacob Barnett


The story of a boy 15 years old , diagnosed with authism is very attractive. While his peers were studying in high schools , he was studying at university with his 20-years old friends. Jacob's mathematical intelligence is perfect unlike his mother Kristine and father Michael.Kristine wanted to be sure about his son's ability and she sent Jacob's videos to Piercon University from which Einstein graduated.She does not believe that education is  memorizing knowledge or obey the authority without questioning. She infracts all rules known as truth. She wrote about her style that create a genious boy. It is letting a child think critically. Mrs.Barnett wrote a book named "The Spark : A mother's story of Nurturing Genious in which she explains her son. She explains what they experience in the education process.The book is published earlier this year and it is best-seller now. Superficially, she expresses in her book that she allowed him to do what he wants and perceive the world by himself .Contrary to what doctors state about him , he has had no learning problems. He is labelled as authisitc by some doctors and Jacob's teachers ; however he is the boy whose IQ is 170 , which means he is smarter even than Einstein(160). Kristine is hard bitten.She hasn't given up. She mentions about the conference by which her son was entitled to study at Premeter Institue For Theoretical Physics. It was only five minutes he make decision to study there.

From early childhood of Jacob , we learn an event showing Jacob's sparkle.One day,Kristine see the line made by crayons.These cryons were in the same order with the colors' order in rainbow.She and her husband were slack-jawed and Jacob was just three years old when he did that.


Now,the boy called that he can not even lace up is studying for proving the flaws of the relativity theory. Jacob believes that Earth didn't formed after the Big Bang , so he searches for the leak of carbon dioxide during the formation of Earth.
