Have you heard of Harvard professor Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple
Intelligences (MI)? MI lists down 9 intelligences, or geniuses, or
smarts: bodily-kinesthetic, existential, interpersonal, intrapersonal,
linguistic, logical, musical, naturalistic, and visual-spatial.
So what is 15-year old Nepalese genius Aashish Jung Kunwar saying about the British
genius Sir Isaac Newton in “A
Tribute To The Supreme Genius And Most Enigmatic Character In The History Of
Science: Sir Issac Newton” (04 Jan 2022, imajk.medium.com)? That appears in
his own blog “Aashish Jung Kunwar”
– notice the mistake? “Issac” should be spelled “Isaac.” This Nepalese genius
does not check his own writing! I have created hundreds of blogs; I have
committed errors, but I never made a mistake in spelling the name of a person I
admire in the title of the article itself!
I’m not surprised, as Nepal is not known to be an
English-speaking country. Even so, the very title of his article and he does not
notice the error?!
Genius on genius, on Tuesday, 04 Jan, that young Nepalese
genius says (edited):
On this day (in) 1643,
a great physicist, mathematician, astronomer, theologian, philosopher and
author was born, (Isaac) Newton, the greatest man to ever grace the world of
science…
Newton’s fame grew
even more after his death, as many of his contemporaries proclaimed him the
greatest genius who ever lived.
Newton: “the greatest genius who ever lived” – I genius do
not think so! Nepal’s young genius himself says:
Of course, Newton was
proven wrong on some of his key assumptions. In the 20th century, Albert Einstein would overturn Newton’s
concept of the universe, stating that space, distance and motion were not
absolute but relative and that the universe was more fantastic than Newton had
ever conceived.
See?
Genius is more fantastic than this Nepalese genius has ever
conceived!
In answering the question, “Who was smarter, Einstein or
Newton?” (Quora.com),
Peter says, “(Newton’s) Principia is really the book that said,
‘We can solve science problems through math.’” Therefore, I genius say Einstein
was smarter, because Newton could only handle scientific thought already
brought out, while Einstein greatly used intuition,
which I think is the real mark of genius. So, Einstein did not arrive at his
Theory of Relativity by logic – he intuited it first.
Ruth Umoh says
(29 Jun 2017, “Steve Jobs And Albert Einstein Both Attributed Their
Extraordinary Success To This Personality Trait,” cnbc.com):
Steve Jobs… Albert
Einstein… both the visionary co-founder of Apple and the most influential
physicist of the 20th century agree that one trait was at the heart of their
success: intuition.
Einstein
and Jobs, entirely different fields, exactly the same path of genius:
Intuition. The secret of how I have so far blogged 7 million+ essays totaling 7
million+ words is that I learned to use my intuition. How to invoke your
intuition? Wait till I come out with my digital magazine!@517
