The Most Common Myths About Human Intelligence
Can a person around us be as intelligent as Einstein? What is the difference between Einstein's brain and an average person's brain next door. Well the only difference could be the amount of knowledge they have.
Scientists break the fallacy, the human brain has been fully developed, we are as smart as Einstein.

In many popular science articles, we can hear one argument: our brain development is less than 10%, and the development of Einstein's brain is 13% ~ 15%. It is precisely so because we can not mobilize the brain in all regions and can not keep the brain in a state of high-velocity movement. Therefore, our understanding of the universe is not so comprehensive. However, some scientists try to break this view.

Some scientists believe that Einstein's brain and our brains are 100% natively developed, and that only organisms with underdeveloped brain can lack the intelligence. So, what is their specific theory?




These scientists propose that our brain is made up of **complex CPUs** made up of tens of billions of **neurons**. Every day, we operate at high speed, receive information, give instructions, and consume huge amounts of energy. Our hearing, smell, vision and other senses play their role in the **cerebral cortex**, so where are the remaining unused brain regions?

We all know that the cessation of a **brain area** must have caused a physical defect. Because each area of ​​the brain corresponds to a certain function, the cessation of some parts of the brain causes a loss of **CPU functionality**. Therefore, the development of a healthy human brain should be 100% rather than less than 10%.

In summary, scientists can get from the basic theory: the development of the general human brain and brain development of Einstein are 100%. However, since Einstein understood more of the universe than us, his knowledge involved more aspects, so he could think more comprehensively in his thinking, deepen his analysis and extend to the universe rather than stay at the surface of the problem.

However, some exceptional people may have some more powerful areas in their brain, to achieve super-memory, or other special features. Therefore some people are better than the average person's ability. Some example are people having super memory, they can calculate any multiplication or division very quickly. Some people can memorize hundreds of things at one time. Of course. there can be multiple views on the subject.
