Who are lesser known geniuses/prodigies

I read that thing on him in Nautilus. Such a sad story.

>>8743690
Indeed. I agree.

Thanks for posting this. Always liked checkers more than chess and started watching / reading previous games he played.

Alfreb Einstime

"He is widely remembered to have spent three days in a library, at the age of 12, reading Principia Mathematica and sent a letter to Bertrand Russell pointing out what he considered serious problems with the first half of the first volume. Russell was appreciative and invited him to study in the United Kingdom."

and here I am, a high school dropout at a polytechnic

>>8744003
Walter didn't have a high school degree and iirc Chicago wouldn't accept him as a PhD student because he lacked one. That's why he went to MIT.

>>8743982
High quality thread thus far. Thanks for posting this guy as well.

>>8743766
Tinsley just became one of my favorite mathematicians.

>>8744003
>He is widely remembered to have spent three days in a library
Relevant only because he was 12.
>sent a letter to Bertrand Russell pointing out what he considered serious problems
Which could be completely erroneous and irrelevant.
>with the first half of the first volume
That could be withing the first three pages.

He was indeed a *genius* but this anecdote could be misleading.

>>8744361
Apparently the letter impressed Bertrand Russell though so it probably was relevant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Scholze

>participated in the International Mathematics Olympiad, winning three gold medals and one silver medal

>He became known as a mathematician after finishing his Bachelor's degree in three semesters and his Master's degree in two further semesters. Scholze's subsequent PhD-thesis on perfectoid spaces[7] yields the solution to a special case of the weight-monodromy conjecture.[8]

>He was made full professor in 2012, shortly after completing his PhD, becoming the youngest full professor in Germany, at the age of 24.

I have no doubt he is a genius, but if students finish early it's usually because their parents go them in school earlier, or got them taking more advanced university level courses by the time they were in HS. This allows them to finish undergrad earlier and focus on grad classes.

>>8744729
honest question, no offence intended

do people like him get laid?

>>8745443
Why not? Everyone who's not horribly disfigured gets laid.

>>8745443
Have you ever met a mathematician who gets laid without help?
The only ones I met were those 'I study math and sport because I'm smart AND athletic, please like and subscribe" guys

>>8745456
what does "help" mean here?
nobody does anything without some form of help

he has a child, so presumably yes

>>8745482
another question, no offence intended

is his child half black

>>8745464
The "you're drunk, that chick wants your dick" kind of help
Pro tip: they dont want the dick most of the time, but its fun anyway

Are you asking if he's gone WMBF master race? They say that once a white boy goes black, he never goes back. White women just can't compete anymore.

>>8745482
Scholze is pretty well known in maths, he is a future fields medallist for sure.
Just at the start of his career.
>>8746249
Well known, won fields medal, popula4 books

>>8745450

They tend to not care too much about it, so probably way less than most people, and payung for it (like James Holmes). They end up finding a gf on their 20s though.

I hope they are, so people stop thinking that black people are all dumb.
