His grades suffered some, but Einstein was almost 100% proven correct later in his life when it came to the disagreements he had with those professors who stuck to the old-line rigidity in their math classes.
    My favorite Einstein story that proves he was right about nearly everything: He once called dark matter/energy* the greatest mistake of his life. Weird how that works. Even Einstein was wrong to bet against Einstein.

    *i can never remember if it was dark matter or energy.

      Which reminds me of another apocryphal story about one of the giants of thought from that era. Again, I can’t remember the name, but the guy was brilliant at the theory and thought questions but sucked at doing the actual math to prove his theories. So he had his dad do all of the complex math associated with it.

      I’m pretty sure it was one of the Hs: Hilbert, Heisenberg, Henry, etc. but a quick google search doesn’t turn anything up.

          Are you talking about Bill and Felix Browder?

          (That family: Earl --> Felix --> Bill -> Joshua, gets my vote for weirdest family of all time. They are so bizarre you couldn't write them as fiction.)

              Definitely not. We wouldn’t have been talking about them in a quantum mechanics class.

                Commercial innovators have many options. An idea must wait for someone to use it. The iPhone 4S incorporated 10,000s ideas plus 1 Steve Jobs.

                Who invented digital media storage? Kane Kramer. Though he held the patent for a while, he couldn't afford to renew the worldwide patent on his idea. Because the patent had expired by the time MP3 players became a big business, he didn't make any money from his original idea when it started showing up in everyone's pocket in the 2000s.

                Kramer's contribution was great. But the concept was largely irrelevant until Steve Jobs changed peoples lives with said concept...and as a result, he is a real world snowflake and you know more about him than you do some of your own cousins.
                Ok, so what brilliant idea is the Tesla car or the Rocket X rocket? Neither are original at all. Musk's first car was a Lotus with an electric motor and a bank made up of computer batteries. How is that original? Even the concepts of self driving dates back to before Musk made his billions.

                The only really innovative idea that Musk sponsors is how the rocket stages are recovered, and I very much doubt that was his idea.

                Otherwise, the electric car is over 100 years old and the rocket is pretty close to 80. I thank you for your media storage point, as that was innovative, and led to further innovative ideas (like the MP3 player). That's very much not Musk Co.

                    Douglas Aircraft Company had a reusable rocket delivery system design in the 1960s.

                          So...based on that, is scholastic success a great predictor of the best and brightest in the real world? That's been the point all along.

                          What was so brilliant of the idea behind the Tesla, a successful Space X rocket or your cell phone? They improve peoples lives to the extent that they want to pay large sums of money for the opportunity to use them. That's the bright idea.

                          Seriously. How do you define a great idea?

                          The personal electric car did nothing for 100 years. In 2000, the concept was largely dead. Tesla launched in 2003, EVs arrived the first year of Tesla's Roadster, people buy $75B worth of EVs every year and Tesla has number one market share. Yeah, Musk didn't do anything.

                            You're misconstruing the original intent of the argument. Most commonly, smarter people get better grades in school. It's not always the case, but it's the general rule.

                            Holding to that general rule, the premise was used to indicate career paths taken by people. People of greatest intelligence are in the theoretical and experimental sciences and math, people just below that rung are the engineers who fuel the ability of companies like 3M, Tesla, Space-X, and DuPont, and then you have the business people another tier below them.

                              Sounds like Tesla is better at marketing than previous companies that gave EV a go.

                                Tesla also improved the batteries, which was their single major advancement with regards to technology.
