The "Sick" theory of Relativity
This is a very unscientific theory of relativity that might just work. My "Sick" theory is that if a teenager can study uninterrupted for one hour in close proximity to an older more experienced relative who is also working and generating brain wave activity, that teenager will be able to wirelessly connect to the brain waves of that relative and access some of that brain power. Now this could be total hogwash but if a teenager can study near a older role model who is doing knowledge work, the environment alone may be conducive to learning. I had this observation recently when my daughter was studying for finals in the next room from my home office. If she gets good grades, that may just serve to reinforce the "Sick" theory of relativity and perhaps I can take some small credit for her achievements. I don't actually have any theories about my other two daughters who got far better grades than I ever did...
