Einstein’s ability was driven by how his brain was structure, not just IQ. There was an article recently on it — he had abnormal folds in certain areas of his brain tied to specific capabilities. I think the right way to look at Einstein is not as a genius but as a prodigy.

Correct. I believe IQ is meaningless with regard to Einstein. People with Einsteins genius are extremely rare.

When he first presented his General Theory of Relativity only a dozen or so people couldn't even understand it. He was a true rarity.

Do you think that has to do with folded space and time the info can flow better ?
