If We Cloned Einstein...

[GAHD]

If I remember corretly, Albert had a deformed brain: His math center was some degree larger than that of the average human.

 

I think that if a clone were around today, he'd be:

- surfing the net, for porn and hypography

- Checking out turtle's k-math and making odd observations about it

- Cursing the world....

and lastly, he'd be living in the USA, England, or the Vat. because that's where all the real German leaders are.

...then we could clone all manner of people

 

they would need to be brought up to speed, once they realized how close the world is to WWIII they would demand to be euthanized.

 

so many countries with nuclear capability, the US having attacked another nation when everyone thought such a thing was impossible to accomplish and recover from, they were lauded by most. they opened the door to international conflict once more it won't be long until they are repayed in full. how and how hard...

:) You can't really clone someone so that they're born at age 50, can you? Oh, that poor mother! I certainly hope she isn't planning to breast feed! (Mustaches itch!)

 

oops... LOL! I can't be blamed for that post, as I was having a lobotamy that day. I guess you don't just clone someone halfway through their life, huh?

 

Sorry... it's been crazy around here lately! :)

:) Half way??? I didn't realize Einstein lived to be 100. Wow, he really was something!

Hi Guys,

 

I know this thread has been dead for a while but I was googling this topic after thinking about it (as most people would).

 

I do agree the enviroment is very important however I feel its become the "cool" thing to say more so than so true. You dont become a genius because of how you grow up.

 

You can just throw everyone into A grade unis and they start coming up with ground breaking work, genius is born not learnt.... however, i feel the key issue is the drive... how you cultivate passion would be hard.

 

Although I find it very hard to belive if we cloned 1000 einstiens and brought them up in a variety of locations we wouldnt get our investment back many times over... and any moral objection seems fairly pale in comparison to the atrocities that take place every minute on earth. Anyhow, my 2c worth :hihi:

Interesting question. The only way we can say about the hypothetical modern Einstein is proabilistic in nature, because the various influences (genetic, natal environment, home environment, etc.) are so mixed up. I think that, from genetic influences (the only set of influences classic and modern Einstien share), he may have had an specially shaped brain that allowed gave him an edge in physics. They would also share any tendances both physical and mental.
