Fail, fail, fail, fail, succeed

How Do You Explain…

I’ve often thought about the mystery of the child prodigy – how do we explain this phenomenon? Mozart wrote his first symphony when he was eight years old. How is this possible?

One possible explanation requires a significant leap of faith – the idea of reincarnation might serve as a purely speculative theory. But what if you’re not ready to accept something that is impossible to prove as a real hypothesis? What else might explain it?

What about the idea that specific knowledge might be encoded in our DNA and passed down to the following generations through our genes? It’s certainly a novel concept, one that begets yet another question…

How specific might the information be that is passed on through the genetic pathway? Is it just a proclivity, or full blown knowledge related to a field of study?

Just letting my mind wander here folks. It’s a fun way to amuse yourself…
