>Absolute pitch might be achievable by any human being during a critical period of auditory development,[56][57] after which period cognitive strategies favor global and relational processing.

>There may be a genetic locus for absolute pitch ability,[64][65] which locus would suggest a genetic basis for its presence or absence.

>However, no adult has ever been documented to have acquired absolute listening ability, [...]

What are the chances that a similar phenomenon might occur with mathematics?
Am I forever stuck in brainletism?

The existence of a genius gene seems like science fiction. In reality you may encounter gifted individuals with an acute ability for the abstract or mental computations just like there are children born each year who can draw like a master at the age of 5 or reach the strength of an adult at the age of 12. A more objective though snooty way to quantify abstract reasoning is their success in mathematics, but relatively speaking then all working mathematicians would be said to have this "genius gene" if it existed. You are forced to take one of three conclusions, realize your perception of this phenomenon has wholly been influenced by what talented individual happens to be famous and cannot be measured normally, realize the quantity of modern mathematicians at the research level suggests it is possible, even probably for a student that is accomodated to learning abstractions at an introductory level to continue his career, or understand your potential obsession with brainletism is not ironically all in your head and you are faced with insecurities of your own failure due to constantly comparing yourself to those with more gimmicks

Please use paragraphs and write shorter periods.

Movies cannot show what is going on inside the head of the mathematician or how his brain is arranged.
Normal people can listen to notes but cannot label them; there's no pathway between the collections of cells that listen to the note and the label.
Similarly, the Genius might have unique but more subtle abilities.

Pretty sure Sheldon has absolute pitch. Their show employs the smartest science advisors available so.... fuck off.

The BBT has pretty good research desu. The show itself is dogshit.

>"When I see equations, I see the letters in colors – I don't know why. As I'm talking, I see vague pictures of Bessel functions from Jahnke and Emde's book, with light-tan j's, slightly violet-bluish n's, and dark brown x's flying around. And I wonder what the hell it must look like to the students."
