« on: 28/08/2008 03:49:59 »
Ah but there are plenty of people who have as much brain power as the past geniuses. Thousands...
Most are masked by so much technology they are not recognized as todays equivilent. Einstein and Ed Witton are 2 good examples where every one knows Einstein of couse but Ed Witton? Well few know his reputation and that Witton continues to advance to surpass the 300 odd papers/contributions/collaborations written by Einstin.
So geniuses today start and contribute their whole lives without worldwide adulation but are famous in their scientific community. Exponentials make it so that knowing everyone at all times world wide depends on the narrow focus of the media. Otherwise scientists tole away in silence!
