Tammet was born with the original name Daniel Corney and grew up in Barking City, east London. He is the eldest brother in a family of 9 siblings. Tammet suffers epilepsy as a child and often needs treatment at the hospital.

Asperger was diagnosed with Asperger at the age of 25, Tammet was identified by Dr. Simon Cohen of the Cambridge University's Center for Autism. Simon is the leading expert in genius scientific studies in the world. In 2005, Tammet became the main character in the documentary that attracted a lot of viewers: "Superman: The boy with a wonderful brain".

Tammet has been the subject of research for British and American scientists for many years. Dr. Allan Snyder from Australian National University said: "Geniuses don't know why they are genius. This ability naturally comes to them. Daniel Tammet can describe what happens in his head. This makes it Tammet's research became very interesting. "

Dr. Baron, Bor and Billington argue that Tammet's sensory disorders and Asperger 's syndrome partly explain Tammet's incredible ability. They thought that Tammet's brain part worked abnormally (left cerebral cortex) that made him capable of superhuman memory.

Daniel interviewed on Icelandic television after completing the most difficult language on the planet for 7 days.

Tammet said he saw 10,000 images of all sizes, colors and different patterns in his head and could "touch" them. He said that there are 289 very ugly objects, 333 very attractive shapes and pi is a very beautiful object. In Tammet's eyes, everything has its own shape. For example, number 6, Tammet does not feel its shape clearly but the number 9 is very large and very scary.

Number 117 in the brain Tammet is some "handsome". He said: "Number 117 is big, majestic and swaying." All numbers and letters with Tammet have their own emotions and identities. It is this that makes him special and possesses unique abilities in the world.

In the documentary "Superman: Boy with a Magical Brain" , Tammet is tested by a scientist with the ability to calculate with a handheld computer. After doing many calculations, although the difficulty increased with the numbers that lasted tens of numbers, Tammet solved them without writing drafts. All Tammet needs is just handwriting on the table. The British genius said: "I see the figures in pictures, I just put them together like a puzzle and the result itself flourishes in the head."

Scientists then use a laptop to test Tammet's computing power and the human brain still wins. Tammet's ability is called "unbelievable" by the scientist and "cannot exist in the human mind".

"Superman" knows 10 languages ​​and can calculate faster than computers.

Tammet holds a record all over Europe for remembering 22,514 digits after a comma of pi. To read more than 22,000 digits, Tammet took 5 hours and 9 minutes to read the clock out loud without stopping. The record was recorded on March 14, 2004. Of all the numbers Tammet read out without a single error and he didn't have to think too long except to stop to drink water and . eat bananas.

During a talk on the Classique radio channel in France on April 29, Tammet said he was inspired to remember the pi from the song "Pi" by singer Kate Bush.

In the book "Born on Green Day" , Tammet writes that he is fluent in 10 languages: English, Finnish, French, German, Lithunia, Esperanto (Esperanto), Spanish, Romanian, Icelandic and dialects. in Wales. In order to prove his superiority, Tammet has accepted the challenge of scientists to master Icelandic in just one week.

Daniel is the object of great scientific research by his transcendent ability.

Be aware that Iceland is one of the most difficult languages ​​in the world. To achieve this, Tammet continued to memorize the dictionary and listen to tapes from Icelandic stations. A week later, he appeared on the Icelandic interview program and answered fluently in a language that a week ago, Tammet never knew. This partly demonstrates the superior ability of "mutant" Tammet.

Tammet is a homosexual and currently lives in Paris with his husband Jerome Tabet, a photographer he met during a book introduction ceremony.
