Can you estimate how much brain power is combined in the photo?

[fiddy]

28 brains

28 brains

Thats a good begin, but there are some brains that are more than simply one single brain.

Don't forget we are talking here about 15 Nobel laureates in Physics (+ 1 in Chemistry for Curie, she won both) and each of the others has at least 1-2 Laws or theorems named after him.

That's a lot of smart white people.

is brain power quantifiable?

[oarabbus]

Think of how hard all these guys worked, and how their advances resulted in the theories of quantum physics and relativity. Then realize that even standing upon the shoulders of these giants, we are unable to derive a GUT

is brain power quantifiable?

You can measure the amount of electricity it generates... so definitely.

of course einstein is in the front and in the middle. what a attention whore, he is so overrated

[Bernkastel]

They'd have to copy off of them first.

There isn't a discernable difference in the structure or power generated by a genius and a normal person and a dumb person, so it isn't really quantifiable.

Do you even know what he did? Before he came along, physics was beginning to become stagnant. They had few answers to explain basic fundamental physics that we consider high-school level physics 101 today. Einstein changed all of physics and his relativity was the most impactful theory known to physics (if string theory is ever validated, that will supplant Einstein's relativity, but even string theory won't be as impactful as relativity was initially and even relativity is a part of string theory).

Much of the advanced technology we use today from x-ray machines to computers to space-shuttle to ISS to Hubble telescope to even the nuclear bomb uses some aspect of relativity.

Also, I am surprised Einstein is sitting in front and middle. Everything I have read of him, he was a shy guy that hated the spotlight. He would freak out when he had to go give presentations early on to present his work. He was probably asked by somebody to sit in front and center.

[Dresta]

More than the entire current US population.

does that electricity actually correlate to intelligence?

No.
