I remember reading that when John Von Neuman reached fifteen his wealthy family were able to employ an internationally recognised maths genius to teach him... when this guy spent an hour with JvN and grasped his level of understanding he broke down in tears of amazement. That story reminds me of Maradona being shown to a club scout as a child and the guy insisted it must be a trick being played on him, he thought it had to be a midget dressed as a kid cos it was impossible for a child to be THAT good at football.
OK two examples of prodigies who seemed unbelievable as children and yet delivered on their insane abilities.... who else was like that? Does it give us hope for humanity that there are these people who are so far above us in their field? Or is it depressing that they exist, do their thing, and life carries on?
