		<description><![CDATA[Pressure and time is all is needed to make a universe.

To control a universe it first has to be measured.

Not even God himself (if there is a god or some eternal being were yet to see) can measure it.

If einsteins theory is correct says it is forever expanding.

Ps we only use 1 quater of our brain imagine 500 years later....  telekinesis, telepathy]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s pretty cool. 

&quot;Emptiness is everywhere and it can be calculated, which gives us a great opportunity. I know how to control the universe. So tell me, why should I run for a million?” 

Genius

This is a very powerfull man. I think that the fact that he ditched the million proves it. Anyone who thinks they are great enough to refuse that amount of money probably can calculate things about life that most people would never think was possible.

Props to Grigory Perelman. Nothing beats smarts.

		<description><![CDATA[I am not so surprised at this rejection and open display of humility or modesty. The legendary mathematical family of Britain who is regarded as the world&#039;s smartest family, the Imafidon siblings manifests the same level of modesty. They have never had any TV/major press feature – although hold several major world records in Mathematics and Examinations. For example, they passed high school Math at the age of six, college level Math at seven, started undergraduate degree studies at eleven, and  invited by University of Oxford to start a double Masters degree at 15, or 16. (see http://www.imafidon.com)

One is led to believe that real mathematical genius and modesty are genetically linked. The  Imafidon’s  iconic intellectual prowess has never been allowed to generate any monetary gains. The Imafidon family give FREE education seminar/workshop through the ExcellenceinEducation.org.uk  programs for inner-city kids and parents, pupils, teachers, instructors, lecturers and students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Their innate academic sovereignty seems to govern, or rule for academic gains rather than economics. They give out free advice on their website. 

As for the Imafidon siblings, they are publicly regarded by Harvard educated professors as the “first family of education” but shun such labels, their mentor and patriarch Chris Imafidon argues  that “Every child is a genius”, therefore his children are not special. But can he name another family in the history of education where ALL five children pass high school, or college level Mathematics Exams at six, or some ridiculous elementary school age, and have written a Mathematics textbook  (Mathematics Manual) for student over twice their age? Nobody can separate Math and modesty.

The Imafidon siblings are very causal about any tests. The routine annual ritual of breaking Exam record has redefined the boundaries of learning and the human mental capacity forever. Humility and modesty forbids them from accepting these patently obvious facts. How can one explain that in the same year when their six year-olds pass high school math, over 300,000 thousand sixteen year-olds failed the same exam? There is something about Math and modesty, or is it madness?]]></description>
