Read up on this guy...a mathematical genius beyond anything we could imagine, and all because of epilepsy and the disorder of synthesia- where the senses mix together (i.e seeing music as colors). Here, Daniel Tammet is able to solve incredibly complex math problems and calculate Pi to thousands of decimal places because he can visualize numbers as colors and mix them.

Wow. What does this say about what our human minds are truly capable of?
Peace and God bless,

Have you ever found it strange that basically every one of the savants ever studied had the minds of children? Makes me not want to grow up.
