Newton, Mozart, Einstein, etc., all had Autism, what was then known as...retardation.

They were all born retarded, not geniuses.

I see, most of yous don't understand the definition of retarded...

look at Jerry Lewis doing a Nutty Proffesor
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S9PCIwhsmU


or ask any 1st grade kid to draw a picture of what they think a scientist looks like...
crazy retarded drawings all of them.



Now, ...ask Nature, "What is a scientist?"

and Nature will bring forth this:

newton autism

According to the standard criteria there does not seem much doubt that Isaac Newton, Henry Cavendish and Albert Einstein were 
Asperger people; in fact Newton appears to be the earliest known example of a person with any form of autism.

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=newton+autism 

Mozart autism

1756-1791. Most scholars agree that musical maestro Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was somewhere on the spectrum. 
Mozart was allegedly extremely sensitive to loud noises. He had a notoriously short attention span and could fly through a cycle of facial expressions within seconds.

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sxsrf=ALiCzsYwlfFylLoNrWXo_-VK84yl4kNbSA%3A1659761384914&q=Mozart+autism


Einstein autism

As a child, he experienced severe speech delays and later echolalia, or the habit of repeating sentences to himself. And of course, 
there is the fact that Einstein was incredibly technical. Such characteristics have led many experts to conclude that he appeared somewhere on the autism spectrum.

Charles Darwin
Paul Dirac – Physicist
Bill Gates
Steve Jobs
Nikola Tesla
and many more..


But these are not geniuses, these are in fact...disease minds.


Born with disease minds.


In other words, mistakes of Nature.

 Top scientist admits ‘space telescope image’ was actually a slice of
chorizo
By Toyin Owoseje, CNN
Updated 5:46 PM EDT, Fri August 5, 2022

 A French scientist has apologized after tweeting a photo of a slice of
chorizo, claiming it was an image of a distant star taken by the James
Webb Space Telescope.

Étienne Klein, a celebrated physicist and director at France’s
Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission, shared the image of
the spicy Spanish sausage on Twitter last week, praising the “level of
detail” it provided.

“Picture of Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the Sun, located 4.2
light years away from us. It was taken by the James Webb Space
Telescope. This level of detail… A new world is unveiled everyday,” he
told his more than 91,000 followers on Sunday. 

 The post was retweeted and commented upon by thousands of users, who
took the scientist by his word.

Things, however, were not quite as they seemed.

Klein admitted later in a series of follow-up tweets that the image was,
in fact, a close-up of a slice of chorizo taken against a black
background.

“Well, when it’s cocktail hour, cognitive bias seem to find plenty to
enjoy… Beware of it. According to contemporary cosmology, no object
related to Spanish charcuterie exists anywhere else other than on Earth”
A large pink; speckled galaxy resembling a wheel with with a small;
inner oval; with dusty blue in between on the right; with two smaller
spiral galaxies about the same size to the left against a black
background.

Rare type of galaxy dazzles in new Webb telescope image

After facing a backlash from members of the online community for the
prank, he wrote: “In view of certain comments, I feel obliged to specify
that this tweet showing an alleged picture of Proxima Centauri was a
joke. Let’s learn to be wary of the arguments from positions of
authority as much as the spontaneous eloquence of certain images.”

On Wednesday, Klein apologized for the hoax, saying his intention was
“to urge caution regarding images that seem to speak for themselves.”

In a bid to make amends, he posted an image of the spectacular Cartwheel
galaxy, assuring followers that this time the photo was genuine.

The Webb telescope, the most powerful telescope ever launched into
space, officially began scientific operations on July 12. It will be
able to peer inside the atmospheres of exoplanets and observe some of
the first galaxies created after the universe began by viewing them
through infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye. 
-------------------------



You can be sure more to come out of the people in NASA also in the
future. I bet a million dollars they
will say they found an Earth out there with air, ocean, and...and sounds
like...the sounds people make.

Then, an asteroid will destroy the telescope.
