Is our generation smarter than Einstein's?

[mariaClara]

---

pila ka years gap sa homo erectus ug homo sapien?

mas utokan gyud ang latter oie..


pila ka years gap ni einstein ug nato?

ang naka-apan lang sa atong generation, kay abi na-invent na man ang kasagarang butang, mura na ta ug wala'y buhaton pa.. we dont have to work from scratch, kay naa na man mga foundation laid out..

pero kung na-tawo pa c einstein or galileo or newton ron (assuming somebody else thought of the relativity and all those big scientific stuff) i think his brain would function as good as it did during his time.. he would still 'stand on the shoulders of giants'.. of course, lain na mahunahuna nga idea ni einstein..

(pardon me, but im just trying to answer the thread.. senxa kung di masabtan)

i think ill change my previous answer

im not sure if their generation was smarter than us but im pretty sure right now, the ratio between the number of dumb and smart people is larger in favor of the dumb as compared to previous generations..

no dont count the dumb, this is between geniuses of different times.

para nako mas bright katong sa time sa gubat sauna, or mga past scientist, kay sila ang nag open ug mga new ideas para sa mga new generations ug sa pag continue...

Standing in the shoulders of Giants theory is more acceptable to me. Since the brain size of humans in the time of einstein up to now are the same.

Sir, standing in the shoulders of Giants is a metaphor, not a theory.

ma overclock/pressure baya ang utok sa tao during adversities like war ..

ari nani magamit or manggawas ang mga genuises sa tao kung naa nay energy/crude oil shortage...

or phenomenons in the future the requires great minds. .. cuz atong utok lies the genius inside it .. wala palay nka trigger ani..

before they have to create the A-bomb during so pressure jud cla..

Im using this metaphor as a theory on this particular topic. Because I believe its a factual statement that explains the topic.

Theories are not only limited to science books, science journals and the library(ie theory of relativity) we create theories everyday and on our everyday lives based on factual observations.
You seemed just to babble things that are irrelevant to the topic. It would make much more sense for you disprove my theory.

I like this term "overclock" hehe.

In way, nature and evolution works the same way. Billions of years as bacteria-like life, then all of a sudden, the Cambrian explosion (diverse life). Perhaps intelligence also increases in "sudden bursts" or spurts.
