Genius must ... have disabilities?
Genius is born randomly or according to a particular rule? This is a big question for scientists. According to a theory that many people are interested in, genius often suffers from a particular disease and it is this disease that has caused them to have extraordinary abilities.
Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727)
This theory was first introduced by early Russian geneticist Vladimir Froismon in the early 20th century. He spent much time statistics into a list of "geniuses affected by arthritis", in which Big names like Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Christophe Colombo, Galileo, Francis Bacon, Voltaire .
According to Froismon research, arthritis often causes high levels of uric acid in the blood. This acid is a powerful brain stimulant. The composition of uric acid is similar to that of caffeine and Theobromin - stimulants found in coffee and tea.
The phenomenon of high levels of urric acid in the blood not only helps to increase research ability in the fields of natural sciences such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and astronomy but also promotes activists and talents artistic and literary skills developed. The list of people affected by arthritis also includes such artists as Michel Angelo, Rembrandt, Beethoven musical genius and the famous German politician Otto Bismarck.
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)
Another disease that is also considered to be related to the birth of geniuses is Marfan syndrome. This disease is easy to see: The stature is high but the body is short, the arms and legs as well as the fingers are too long. Some people are like hands . gibbons, knee-length. The face is also long but flat like being . compressed from both sides.
However, so many "strange-looking" generals are so talented: Newton, the brilliant physicist, looks at the falling apple and discovers the law of gravitation. Darwin, the British biologist, "ancestor" of modern theory of species evolution. Colombo, the genius navigator has found America, Galileo with famous heliocentrism .
Charles Darwin (1809 -1882)
The researchers say that this strange feature is due to the special variants of the human body under the effects of Marfan syndrome. Many scientists hypothesize that such transformation has given the world many outstanding figures. It is possible to list many of the world's most famous people with Marfan syndrome who have such characteristics, most notably the following 3 people:
The first is American President Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), who had the merit of abolishing slavery in this country. He came from a woodcutter, then thanks to the energy to become a lawyer, then the US president. He has extraordinary ability to work, judgment and courage. President Lincoln has a characteristic long and narrow face.
The second is the famous Danish writer, Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875). He was the son of a poor shoemaker, orphaned from a young age, and Andersen started going to school very late and went to college until he was 23 years old. He is known for his fairy tales and fables that fascinate children and adults all over the world for more than a century. Andersen's face also has a narrow feature of people with Marfan syndrome.
The third is French President Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970). He was a famous French general during the Second World War and later became the president with a strong mark in French political history during the postwar period. His name was reserved for a famous international airport in France. From a young age, Charles de Gaulle showed courage and intelligence. He was taller than all his friends and his narrow, narrow angle shoulders were very special.
All three celebrities mentioned above, in addition to their special talents in politics, literature and military, they also have remarkable health. Scientists believe that Marfan syndrome is responsible for the production of many bloody catecholamines. This is a substance that contributes to the high functioning of the mind and the physiology of the body, which makes most "patients" have extraordinary ability to work. In addition, one of the common points of people with Marfan syndrome is that most of them have special humor abilities. President Lincoln and writer Andersen are testament to this statement.
