    Seal Team Six Helicopter Crash 5/1

    Keep in mind that this was an experimental, stealth helicopter. It's doubtful it flies as well or is as stable as a normal military helicopter. (The F-117 stealth fighter would crash and burn if not for continuous computer control and is purposely limited in the manuevers it can do). Also...

    IQ Limit: Is There a Ceiling to Human Intelligence?

    Well, IQ is a statistical measurement, not just some number you slap on somebody. There may be an abnormal cluster of super-intelligent people with IQs over 200, but you couldn't measure them. If you have a notion that there are people walking around with 300 IQs, think again. Humans just...

    IQ Limit: Is There a Ceiling to Human Intelligence?

    I was being generous with 202 in the first place. On a normal distribution curve, mean of 100, s.d of 15 (typical IQ distrubution), an IQ of 202 actually has a rarity of 1 in 10.88 billion. A score of 203 is 1 in 16.38 billion. The phrase '200 IQ' is tossed around a lot, but in reality, A...

    IQ Limit: Is There a Ceiling to Human Intelligence?

    If this thread is about an IQ limit, then there certainly is one. Remember that in adults, IQ is simply a statisical comparison to the general population, on a normal distribution curve. A 140 IQ has a rarity of 1 in 100, a 150 is 1 in 1000 and as you go up the scale there exists an IQ that...
