I often wonder how scientists can state with such certainty that the universe is 14 billion years old because that is the farthest starlight they can see. What if our universe is only one of many clusters of galaxies in a truly infinite space? Would they accept that? Could they? The same thing goes on in the opposite direction, sub atomic. Quarks are supposed to be the basic building blocks of matter, yet the mass of an electron is far less than a quark. For any of you with a scientific background, you can see that I am hinting at mankinds' inability to deal with or understand such matters, and that we probably never will, so what is the meaning of an IQ? Somewhat irrelevant, really, as there are carpenters who have IQ's over 140 and PhDs with IQ's under 120. It may be something to debate, but is it worth it? What would Einstein get on a modern test?

Kids at that age aren't that concerned anyway so there is going to be a large variance. I doubt that a second grade test could go much beyond 130 or so. It is after all only a number, since the brightest kid can also be the biggest goof off. Bill Baka

What's practical and sensible about IQ testing doesn't need to be particularly precise or to cover all the extremes. Then there's those of us who just like tests. Some people buy books of TImes of London crosswords and others grab IQ tests, which tend to be a lot easier. Ron
