All a bit anecdotal but there seems to me to be a connection between the really good ones and having what these days is called a degree of high functioning Aspergers or Autism. Or you get these people that can do amazing things like repeat PI to thousands of decimal places but have synesthesia.

What's wrong with having synaesthesia? :|

Code is math but not always physics. But I do like the idea.

Give me the math why?

I'm talking really good. Like professor and beyond into those people that live in mathematics camps and go on to win Nobel prizes.

I know a mathematics professor pretty well and lived next door to a lecturer for a while as well as doing it as an undergraduate myself for a bit.

I didn't mean to belittle anyone like that, in fact I find it all amazing but when I've met these kinds of people they usually will display some pretty odd character traits socially. Maybe it just goes with being driven, there are some odd doctors and surgeons out there too but the mathematicians seem to be a special case.

Are you one? :D

I was joking :D

I'm no maths wiz. The mathematics department at my university is a world within a world.......

And the Theoretical Physics department is a world within a galaxy within universe within a black hole...

The people that bought the apartment off of the maths lecturer told me that when he was showing them round he said 'There is a shower but I'm afraid although I've been living here for 4 years I haven't got around to getting it fixed so there is no hot water from it'. Buyer said 'So although the immerser lights up when you press this switch it doesn't heat up?'. 'There's a switch????'

Why should we believe one who shamelessly sports, as his avatar, TEH TROLLFACE???

Riddle me that, Doc.
