*Do you believe genius is born or made?*

The most important thing in life to keep your brain active is to be curious about as much as possible on different topics and keep your mind active with puzzles and games then you are never bored. To keep the brain stimulated is far more important than your body.

He used his PENTIUM more than most people carrying CORE I9

Very well done, Cindy. Congrats. I am a neuroscientist so I can appreciate the extent and scope of the work you put to create this video.

To conclude. A smaller brain doesnt mean someone is stupid. There are several factors indeed. There can be a bigger brain, but if it hasn‘t enough neuron connections or some part of the brain not developed enough, he can also still be stupid as fuck.

Science is amazing.

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”

So inspiring. I won't be insulted from now on if my siblings call me small brain cause it's now clear I belong in a good brain size company

This video provides intriguing insights into the complex relationship between brain structure and genius.

Omg, I freaking love this 🤗! Keep up the great work. I’m subscribing and most definitely turning on my notification bell to your channel. I try my best to learn something new every day 😁.

Einstein left behind specific instructions regarding his remains: cremate them, and scatter the ashes secretly in order to discourage idolaters. Yet not only did Harvey take the brain, he also removed the physicist's eyeballs and gave them to Henry Abrams, Einstein's eye doctor. They remain to this day in a safe deposit box in New York City.

This is why I take brain size and shape in history as a suggestion rather then evidence, we know a lot but we just don’t know enough.

[karthikkeyansmk]

the thing to be noticed is that you said that normal adult brain weights this much, but einstein in the old grandfather

[MeAndMyRoyalEnfield]

Boy, my brain is certainly ageing 😞
My Mom is deep in dementia. That scares me the most about getting older. I've looked at Luminosity, Brilliant and others but just wish I knew an app that was focused on dementia?
Side note, I don't trust any entity to safely store my personal data these days. That is why I would never have a DNA test done even though I am curious. Safety of stored data may be a good topic for a video?

Einstein's brain is complex but did you know that Einstein struggled with education when he was five years old and he spoke his first sentence at the same age he said the soup is hot . Wow that's so cool

**Step 1: Breaking Down the Equation**

- **E** represents **Energy**.
- **M** represents **Mass**.
- **C** represents the **Speed of Light** (with \( c^2 \) being the speed squared).

In Hebrew, letters have numerical values, allowing us to map "EMC" phonetically to Hebrew letters:
- **E** is represented by **Aleph (א)** = 1.
- **M** is represented by **Mem (מ)** = 40.
- **C** is represented by **Kaf (כ)** = 20.

Thus, **EMC** gives us a total value of **1 + 40 + 20 = 61**.

---

### **Step 2: The Gematria Meaning of 61**

In Hebrew gematria, the value **61** corresponds to the word **Ani (אני)**, meaning **"I" or "me."** This word signifies the self, identity, and consciousness.

- **Interpretation**: Einstein’s equation, when expressed in gematria, points toward the self—the individual's identity as a conscious being. The exploration of energy and mass is, in a deeper sense, an exploration of the self's role in the universe.

---

### **Step 3: Understanding \( C^2 \)**

The speed of light squared (\( c^2 \)) is central to Einstein’s equation. In Hebrew gematria, \( C \) is represented by **Kaf (כ)** = 20. Squaring this value gives us \( 20^2 = 400 \), which corresponds to the letter **Tav (ת)**.

- **Tav** is the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet and symbolizes **completion, truth, and the end of a cycle**.

---

### **Step 4: The Total Value of \( E = mc^2 \)**

When we add the gematria values of each part:
- \( E = Aleph (א) = 1 \)
- \( M = Mem (מ) = 40 \)
- \( C^2 = Tav (ת) = 400 \)

The total gematria value is:
- \( 1 + 40 + 400 = 441 \).

#### **441 in Hebrew Gematria**
The number **441** corresponds to the word **Emet (אמת)**, which means **"truth."**

---

### **Conclusion: Truth in Science and Spirit**
Through this gematria analysis, we find that Einstein's equation \( E = mc^2 \), symbolically, leads to **truth**. Just as Einstein's equation revealed a fundamental scientific truth about the relationship between energy and mass, the gematria reveals a mystical truth about the universe and our role within it.

- **Scientific Truth**: \( E = mc^2 \) shows us the interchangeable nature of energy and mass, forming the basis of modern physics.
- **Spiritual Truth**: In gematria, the equation points to **Emet (truth)**, suggesting that the universe is governed by deeper principles of unity and reality that transcend both science and mysticism.

This synthesis encourages us to see the pursuit of truth as both a scientific and spiritual journey, linking energy and mass to the very essence of our being, as represented by **Ani (I)** and **Emet (truth)**.

Lol wasnt surprised by the Mongolian, love the video!

[squashduos]

He had a lot of wrinkles which translates to a larger surface area…mine compared to his….perhaps the shape of a liver ;-)

[kamartaylor]

I dare someone to take a sip from that jar of brain juice.

[nightking]

That's the difference between gifted by fate vs others. I don't even think that an average guy with average guy with any kind of training could rival brains of gifted one.
