Man Becomes Math Genius After Being Punched In The Head by Orochimaru1(m): 2:00pm On Oct 02, 2016 |
Even though medical science assures us that head injuries burn cells and technically make us “dumber” (ask boxers), this isn’t the case for Jason Padgett, who became a mathematical genius overnight after an attacker punched him in the head. The thirty-one-year-old man was a college dropout who had no background in mathematics beyond the everyday basics or did not engage in any spiritual activity or interests whatsoever. Padgett is one of only forty known people in history to have “acquiredsavant syndrome,” an unexplained condition in which trauma to the head results in the emergence of remarkable talent in math, art, or music. In 2002, two men savagely attacked Jason Padgett outside a karaoke bar, leaving him with a severe concussion and post- traumatic stress disorder. But the incident also turned Padgett into a mathematical genius who sees the world through the lens of geometry. Padgett, a furniture salesman from Tacoma, Washington, who had very little interest in academics, developed the ability to visualize complex mathematical objects and physics concepts intuitively. The injury, while devastating, seems to have unlocked part of his brain that makes everything in his world appear to have a mathematical structure.
