i am 13 years old and people are always telling me how smart I am because I learned to read when I was 13 months old, and that I understood M-Theory when i was 7, stuff like that, Also I am really interested in science, but I've no desire to work in that field, I understand time travel and I have built small machines that can exceed my own running speed since i was about 9, what are the qualities of a person like Newton or some of those other really smart people? I need to know how old some of you people are, and how old you were when you started showing signs of being smart! And dont tell me I am the only one here who is under 30 and understands M-Theory because @ my school I have teachers that dont get it!

'Kay, that's a really weird question...
I don't think you can EVER say who's smart and who's not. For example, there's this mentally-disabled kid at my school who CANNOT concentrate in class, and he fails at English. But when you give him a math problem, he can always do it.
The following stuff is not meant to be rude, but maybe the things that you know and understand may never affect your life. Time travel is probably not something you'll be dealing with any time soon, considering the fact that you do not want to pursue a career in science. It's impossible to say if you're smart or not. Personally, if you showed up and my school and started explaining about time travel, you wouldn't be very popular and would probably be considered more crazy than smart...
Again, no offense to you, and congrats for knowing the M-Theory, i guess...
I'm 14, and people have always said I was smart since 3rd grade... even though I personally think I am just plain dumb. However, one reason they started calling me smart is that when I was in 3rd grade, I actually started getting letter grades, so parents could compare me with their kids...

You sound pretty smart for 13 years old to me.
Be thankful and enjoy the compliments, but always remember that no matter how smart your brain is, your heart is the same as those not so smart.
Be yourself, make lots of friends and just enjoy life and you will be loved by all!

i am happy to learn that you have understood the M theory,but at the same time i am a bit annoyed with you for posting this at yahoo answers and asking for your smartness.
understanding M theory is good and indd asign of smartness,but i guess if probabily you had been smart enough ou would not have posted it at yahoo answers.
Any ways kep it up.

You sound very intelligent. It's one thing to understand M-theory, it's another thing to be able to improve on it or perhaps disprove it. I know many people who are knowledgeable about many things but can't figure-out how to get out of a wet paper bag. And I know others who don't even know the Moon circles the Earth but can build or fix just about anything. I know very, very few people who possess both qualities. The big difference seems to be desire.

You are definitely smart for you age but not at genius level.

I built a gun at 5 that shot rubber bands faster than my little brother could run. Claiming you understand M-theory is not enough. Please explain M-theory to me and I will tell you if you are smart.
