You cannot "capture" genius if you are not working hard on a problem.</p><p>Unlike popular myth, Newton was not just sitting there under a tree when an apple hit him on the head - exposing a link to his genius. He was writing and thinking hard about the laws of physics when he saw an apple fall far away. The apple delivered him genius and together they created modern physics.</p><p>Good stuff James!</p><p></p>johnmardenThu, 26 Mar 2009 14:26:30 -0000
