All the brains in the world won't help you if you're autistic.. For instance, Tesla, who liked going to bars and play poker, pool, and darts, was profficient at the latter two, while sucking ass at the first one, even though he could win using his smarts to calculate favorable odds. Why? Because autism

poker is terrible. my bad luck is paranomal.
>3h of careful play. double profit

Kek.

she got a nobel prize for her husband's work (she was basically his glorified lab tech) because the nobel society thought it was progressive to give it to a woman.
>>17548630
You say that like she did it all by herself. She shared both with other people.

Newton believed in alchemy. Einstein believed in vegetarianism. Smart people believe in irrational things all the time.
>>17548678
Wow, one bad beat. You should collect on the JREF challenge if you have any proof.
>number one female scientist
>husband does all the work
>wife takes all the credit
checks out
>>17548866
>greatest example of a female scientist in history
>literally just took the credit for a mans work
I'm taking a course on technology prior to WW1 right now. A LOT of the prominent scientists around the turn of the century investigated mediums and general creepy shit. Marie Curie and her husband were one of them.
Physicist Marie Curie
Chemist William Crookes
Physicist Oliver Lodge (rival to Marconi)
Psychologist William James
They even had a Society for Psychical Research. These people would use purely scientific methods to investigate mediums, seances, ectoplasm... Many were ultimately fooled. They believed in something called the Ether, which was a substance that filled the whole universe. The concept of the Ether explained how planets moved through the firmament and how thoughts could transmit force.

> Newton believed in alchemy
hey this guy has a good point
> Einstein believed in vegetarianism
oh nevermind
you don't believe in vegetarianism same as you don't believe in capitalism, its not something paranormal
>>17549039
> Empathy towards animals
> irrational
oh 4chan
>>17549809
Let us be edgy. It's in our tradition.
