    Einstein's Intelligence Quiz ?

    Reminds me of the SHSAT logical reasoning questions: http://www.kaptest.com/High_School/SHSAT/Practice-SHSAT/HS_entrance_logicalquestions.html

    High School Infinite String and Letter Puzzle

    I used basic math for this.

    Courses Elementary physics courses - 95% about knowing formulae?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YSxEe55Ce8 That's actually where I recognized you from. If it wasn't for your physics videos and piano videos I would've guessed you were just the average powerlifter/bodybuilder, etc.

    Testing Can I still get into top colleges with a 1960 SAT score?

    1960 is very low for anyone that wants to get into a STEM career. I suggest reviewing and then retaking the SAT. Are you Hispanic or African American?

    Can a Negative Claim Ever Be Proven?

    God, in the Judeo-Christian sense, is a concept that generally runs into many logical fallacies.

    How many times in a week do you shower?

    I don't see the big issue with showering daily... If you're efficient you can shower "properly" in just a few minutes. I usually shower in the morning and brush my teeth in the shower while the water washes off all the soap.

    Why is my house falling apart today?

    All these troubles and yet, we are but tiny, self-important creatures on a pale blue dot. A pale blue dot in an ordinary solar system within a vast galaxy that may contain millions or even billions of other solar systems, still, this galaxy is just one of many galaxies in a huge supercluster...

    Can Humans Mentally Handle Immortality?

    If the combination of all the knowledge of several groups of experts in various fields equates to less than one percent of consequential knowledge in the world then I don't think biological immortality will necessarily result in eventual boredom.

    Does Thinking Burn as Many Calories as Physical Activity?

    Not sure but when I began reading again(+school work) more often during my free time I noticed I gained a lot of weight... In high school this wasn't a problem and it was easier to maintain a lower bodyweight.

    Which disciplines would you call Hard Sciences vs. Soft Sciences ?

    You're invoking fallacious logic(ad verecundiam) if you're trying to suggest that the video you posted contains useful information. Feynman, much like many other famous physicists, was not an expert in the field(s) he was referring to in that particular video.

    Which disciplines would you call Hard Sciences vs. Soft Sciences ?

    I'm sure you can find the error in your logic on your own. According to this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fields_of_science Economics falls under social science. Sure you may not care for economics but your interest in it has no bearing on whether or not it is a valid field of study.

    Which disciplines would you call Hard Sciences vs. Soft Sciences ?

    I believe the OP is trying to make the distinction between natural science, formal science, social science, and applied science. Here's a link that describes how different fields of science are grouped: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fields_of_science

    Should Politicians Embrace Intellectualism?

    This is the same example that's always used over and over. The way the American education system presents science topics in general needs to be revised heavily.

    Physics Dude , crazy traveling as a 3rd world Physicist? What do you think?

    Because CEOs tend to be in a field that involves money. For a scientist the reward for working hard isn't money, it's the possibility of making a new discovery and furthering the information pool of mankind.
