Maybe the name of William James Sidis was a stranger and less familiar to our ears. Who terjenius man who once owned the world? Da Vinci? John Stuart Mills? Or as Albert Einstein predicted this over people? All three are considered to be a genius-a genius who has given much greater influence on their respective fields. But the degree of human terjenius world has ever fixed it seems feasible given to William James Sidis. Who is he? Why his name is less known though drowning and IQ numbers reach the range of 250-300? ..
Sidis miracle begins when she can feed themselves with a spoon at the age of 8 months. At the age of not quite 2 years, Sidis had made the New York Times as a friend to breakfast next morning. Since then its name to the subscription newspaper headline: write several books before the age of 8 years, including about anatomy and astronomy. At the age of 11 years Sidis accepted at Harvard University as the youngest pupils. Harvard was then fascinated by his genius when Sidis gave a lecture on the Four Dimensions body in front of the professor of mathematics.
More terrible again: Sidis understand the language of the world's 200 species and can menerjamahkannya very quickly and easily. He could learn a language as a whole in a day!! The success is the success of William Sidis' father, Boris Sidis are a Psychologist powerful Jew. Boris himself is also a Harvard graduate, student of famous psychologist William James (so she later gave the name to her child), Boris is making his son as an example for a new education model as well as attacking the conventional education system which has been 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 the productive. Sidis died in a state of unemployed, alienated and very poor. Ironic. People then judge that Sidis's life is not happy. The popularity and prowess in the field of mathematics made him miserable. A few years before he died, Sidis indeed had told the press that he hated math - something that had catapulted him. In social life, Sidis had little friends. In fact he also often ostracized by fellow sekampus. Not even once had a girlfriend or wife. Bachelor's degree is never finished, just abandoned. He then broke with his family, wandering in secrecy, working with pickup salary, seclusion. He ran away from the real triumph of his childhood is 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, to be yourself. Although not authorized for that Sidis. The press and public already made Sidis as a story. Wherever Sidis hiding, the press would have kissed. Sidis could not let go of his father's influence for granted. Already embedded as a time bomb, which then blew himself up. Apparently not as long as geniuses could live happily and enjoy life.
