This man may have had a brain the size of his fist, but he was still able to function better then others probably because he had a very good environment when he was growing up (just a hypothesis/ could be a theory. I stole this idea from my anthropologist professor either way. He told us of a similar one about a woman from Ireland? Whose brain was basically a smear on the inside of her skull) I'd like to see where you got this story. He would still have enough neurons to store all the information he needed. Our brains contain approximately 10^11 neurons which means even if you had a 100th of that, you would still be able to function pretty normally. I admit I don't know why our brains are as large as they are now. Maybe it has something to do with sexual attraction or that we developed larger brains because it may have allowed us to retain knowledge easier under poor learning environments or that they allow us to think faster. Isn??t it possible that our ??mind? is a complex system of neurons (and other things) run by electrical pulses? With brain implants you can actually stimulate people/animals to do actions against their will.

One thing I do know is that Einstein??s Brain had More folds (ie: surface area) then someone with an average IQ. This gives a hint that it has something to do with the brain in some sense. But what ever it is, it??s going to be a bit more complex then just the brain size.

There is one limitation though, it??s time. We only have a certain amount of time that we're able to learn new information.

When I said theory, I meant law, and the laws I talk about govern your life if you like it or not and they will not change. Although the way we perceive them will. The funny thing is you proved yourself wrong by stating an idea you said you already accepted: nothing, not even light can escape a black hole.
Well Also it violates Newton??s third law, ??III. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.?
Then there is also the problem in explaining why terrestrial (rock) planets formed only in the inner solar system and not in the outer. If your ??black holes? collected mass, they would collect mostly Hydrogen the most common element in the universe. Thus only creating gas planets, unless you can come up with some sort of limiting factor that depends on where they formed. The current theory (collapsing gas/dust cloud) explains this nicely.

I also suggest you never say, "only a theory" again, I hear the same thing from creationists about evolution. These ??theories? give us very important information about our environment and allow us to predict future events based upon them. The universe doesn??t depend on our senses at all (it gives them to us in a way.) The Sun ??rises? doesn??t it? Would it make a difference if you were blind? Or even if you were dead? This is what science lets us understand. It explains things that would normally be beyond us. Like a sixth sense, the ability to determine what will happen in the future, or what has happened in the past, based upon theories on our surroundings.

One last thing: I figured out what bothers me the most about you. You seem to be a mystic, but I was wondering: what do you consider yourself to be?
