I think it was Einstein that said "If you can't explain it to a 6-year-old, then you don't really understand it."

The ability to say a profound thing in a simple way is a form of genius, actually, because it involves intellectual capabilities to be able to do just that. But the definition of a "Genius" is much more than that - it is an exceptional, natural, capacity of intellect, especially as shown in creative and original work in science, art, music, etc.

NO, it is the profound ability to understand something to the tiniest molecule, it is like being totally fluent in a galactic language that only a chosen few comprehend. Usually geniuses are channelled into a tight area of focus, whether it be music / art; language; mathematics /science

No that is wisdom. Genius is the speed at which a person thinks at. About how fast Ideas are formed and how the idea is put to use.
